Louis CHARLOT (1878-1951) grew up in Autun, where there lived a tapestry-maker named Alexandre Huet. Huet was also a fairly accomplished self-taught amateur painter, who was rather like a Parisian artist in the midst of the French provinces. He taught Charlot the rudiments of painting and, most importantly, found him a job with a decorative artist. At the age of 20, Charlot moved to Paris. Leon Bonnat took an interest in him and helped him prepare for the entrance examination to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he was admitted in 1898 or 1899. At the Exposition Universelle of 1900 he discovered the Impressionists and was influenced by Pissarro and Cezanne who made a lasting impact upon his work. In 1905 he went to Uchon for the first time and later set up his family home there.

Charlot first exhibited in Paris at the Salon of the Societe des Artistes Francais in 1901. He began exhibiting at the Salon d'Automne in 1906 and was accepted as a member. He also exhibited at the Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts from 1911, and at the Salon des Tuileries from 1927 to 1943. He was made an Officier of the Legion d'Honneur. In 1951 the Dijon salon Ascent (L'Essor) organised a retrospective in homage to Charlot. Then, in 1976, the Musee Rolin in Autun held a retrospective exhibition of his works.
