Jean-Michel Atlan
Of Algerian Jewish origin, born in 1913 and died in 1960, Jean-Michel Atlan studied philosophy in Paris in the 1930s. Troskist, anti-colonialist, resistant, he began to paint as a self-taught artist in 1941. Arrested in 1942, he escaped the extermination camps in extremis.
Reflecting his tumultuous life, the art of Jean Michel Atlan is a continual effervescence. Close of the group CoBrA, master of lyrical abstraction, his paintings reflect a strange, mystical and hypnotic inner world. His artworks carry an incantatory force, close to nature, and close to the first humans. Like totems, his pieces have the gift of inspiring those who contemplate them, they are alive and seem to have a will of their own.
