Life
Kerg was born in Niederkorn to a schoolmaster and his wife. Théo Kerg attended school in Esch-sur-Alzette. In 1929, he moved to Paris, France, to study at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Sorbonne, and the Institut d'Art et d'Archéologie. He studied at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 1932 to 1933, under the direction of Paul Klee and Oskar Moll. In 1936, he returned to Luxembourg to become an art professor.
Théo Kerg resigned from his position in 1943 after the German invasion of Luxembourg during World War II. He was however arrested in 1944 by the Luxembourgian allied militia and kept in jail for 15 months as a preventive measure. He left Luxembourg in 1946, aiming to settle in Venezuela, but he was forced to stop in Paris, where he illustrated a book by Paul Eluard. He permanently settled in Paris and spent the last three years of his life in Chissey-en-Morvan, Burgundy, where he died in 1993.
