Edmond-Édouard Lapeyre (born in Reims, died in Paris), was a French painter and illustrator.
Biography.
Born in Reims on 17 November 1880, Edmond-Édouard Lapeyre joined the atelier of Fernand Cormon to complete his artistic education. In 1888 Cormon moved to 104 boulevard de Clichy, where Lapeyre’s fellow students included Jacques Villon and Henri Matisse. Some time before 1907 Lapeyre moved into the area, living in rue Lepic, close by. When Cormon went to teach at
countryside, seems to encapsulate the artist’s productive and felicitously cultivated duality as a painter of both fashionable women and country folk. Edmond-Édouard Lapeyre died in Paris on 4 February 1960.
