Georges Hermann, born in 1923, died prematurely in 1971 at the time when an exhibition organized by Pierre Restany and Pierre Gaudibert was being prepared at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris, is a major artist of the 20th century. A painter and scientist, linked to the People and Culture movement, he entered from the beginning of the sixties into a remarkable plastic approach accompanied by leading theoretical writings. The entire work of this exceptional artist, which links science and art around an extraordinary philosophy of energy, was the subject of a heritage donation to the Department of Haute-Savoie. This book, written by his daughter, an art historian and philosopher ( Kandinsky, his life; Man Ray: Objects of my affection, Sculptures and Objects, Catalogue Raisonné; Alexandre Rodtchenko, Écrits complets sur l'art, l'architecture et la révolution; Histoire de mon esprit ou le roman de la vie de René Descartes ), sheds light on a key moment in the evolution of art, to which Georges Hermann makes a contribution as exciting, demanding and luminous as that of his peers, Yves Klein or Joseph Beuys.
