Edmond Dauchot

Edmond Dauchot (1905 – 1978) was a Belgian photographer, poet and engraver. He was born in Gosselies in the industrial municipality of Charleroi where he worked in the family brickmaking business but gave it up in 1930 to move to the hamlet of Olloron near the village of Nadrin (municipality of Houffalize) in the Belgian Ardenne, which inspired his work for the rest of his life.
