Born in Poland in 1918, a Holocaust survivor, Emanuel Proweller moved to Paris in 1948. He exhibited his abstract paintings in prestigious galleries, but his return to figuration sparked widespread incomprehension. By the late 1970s, while his work was recognized as a precursor to narrative figuration, he remained relatively unknown to the general public.
This is why the Georges-Philippe and Nathalie Vallois gallery is giving him a major exhibition. The Proweller catalog , the heart of the matter, co-published with the gallery, accompanies this major event and offers the public a fresh perspective on this painter, forgotten in art history textbooks. His colors and forms stand as if against the grain of his time, but resonate in an extraordinary way today.
Exhibition catalog. Bilingual French / English.
