Accompanying the first major exhibition devoted to Boris Taslitzky (1911-2005), this catalogue traces his exemplary journey through the 20th century, from the 1930s to the era of decolonisation. Marked by the war from childhood, deeply anti-fascist, a member of the Association of Revolutionary Writers and Artists and then of the Communist Party from 1935, Taslitzky joined the Resistance before being imprisoned in French prisons and then deported to Buchenwald in 1944.
Witness and actor of the great upheavals of his century, alone on [his] path, but in solidarity with those who make History, conscious of his responsibility as a man and an artist, Taslitzky wants to bite into life, capture the moment, deny indifference. He assumes the ambition of a history painting revived by the romantic heritage. Attentive to reality in its becoming, Taslitzky avoids the risk of political imagery and defends a "realism with social content" which aims less to bear witness than to "tell the life of the men of [his] time". It is this humanist that we must rediscover, and his prolific work which oscillates between joy and outrage and questions the notions of memory and resilience, resistance and creation.
