Haïm Kern is a renowned painter and engraver, best known today as a sculptor. His oeuvre is multifaceted: painting, sculpture, engraving, lithography, and writings. One of his emblematic works is "They Did Not Choose Their Grave," erected on the Chemin des Dames in the Aisne department. This work is the first retrospective monograph.
Haïm Kern is a complete artist, a sculptor, he paints, engraves and writes. We owe him Ils n'ont pas choisi leur sépulture, a work installed in 1998 on Le Chemin des Dames in the Aisne, stolen in 2014 then reinstalled in 2017, inaugurated by the President of the Republic François Hollande for whom it was the last public act in his office. We also owe him other remarkable monuments adorning our public squares, François Mauriac in Paris, near the Hôtel Lutetia. Les chemins de Pichipoï, installed in 2000 in the Angers train station in memory of Convoy No. 8 to Auschwitz. His tiny "deusèles", small winged characters that haunted the Luxembourg Gardens in 2003. We should not forget Liberté Égalité Fraternité, to which Jean Tardieu devoted a text, which would be one of the gifts from the French Republic to all the heads of state invited to the bicentenary of the French Revolution in 1989. This work, richly illustrated with sculptures, engravings, paintings, collages, is enriched with the artist's writings. Haïm Kern has given back to the French language this part of himself, deep, moving, humorous, surreal, unreal. This is the first retrospective monograph of Haïm Kern.
