Axel de Heeckeren guides us into the unique world of a painter, born in 1900, who seeks in his paintings to "create a new nature by continuing the gesture once the initial vision has been destroyed, to open the roofs of castles and make dream dancers fly away and who shows "magical marshes from which the animals of a new myth escape. If Jean Auguste Marembert belongs to the second generation of surrealism, the movement whose first wave he experienced when he arrived in Paris around 1918, at no time did he join it as a disciple. We follow his journey from the Salon d'Automne to the Salons des Indépendants and Surindépendants, from his exhibitions, notably within the Les Réverbères group, to his collaborations as an illustrator for various bibliophile magazines and works, from his decisive encounter with the dealer Henri-Pierre Roché, to the formidable Parisian bohemian scene in which he mingled. This work "is entirely a long introduction to the personality and work of Jean Marembert". Forty years of research, conversations and exchanges of views with the paintings to exhume the memory of an artist, to expose his works in full light and to draw up a catalogue raisonné.
