In many ways, Anto-Carte is a link in an invisible chain. When inspired by Christian culture, her painting engages with the masters of ancient and 19th-century art, as evidenced by the confrontation with the Mons collections. Born in Mons, her heart is rooted in the Borinage, which inspires powerful pictorial compositions where local reality and universal feelings coexist. Her painting is as earthbound as it is heavenward. It connects the temporal and the spiritual, peasants and angels, to propose eternal values: mutual aid, self-sacrifice, forgiveness, merit, sharing, and love for one's neighbor.
In this book, which accompanies the exhibition Anto-Carte. De terre et de ciel, presented at the BAM in Mons, discover the richness of the work of this unique artist.
