Gérard Garouste
GéRARD GAROUSTE ET L’éCOLE DES PROPHèTES – SOLO SHOW

LIEU DE MEMOIRE, CHAMBON-SUR-LIGNON, FRANCEFrom 05/07/2019 to 29/09/2019

This Summer, Gérard Garouste has expressed the wish to install some of his works in the new rooms of the Remembrance Place of Chambon sur Lignon. Familiar with the Talmud, the artist wanted to know more about these young Jews, who in the darkest hours of Nazism had reflected on the revival of Jewish thought by calling themselves, with a touch of provocation, the School of prophets. Gérard Garouste’s painting draws its inspiration from the Talmudic tradition, the horror of the Shoah and its personal history. The exhibition offers a journey between painting and biblical texts, between art and history, around a selection of paintings that resonate with the reflections of this group of thinkers.
