WRITTEN IN FRENCH
Dedicated to Jean Hélion (1904-1987), a leading figure in abstraction, then in the revival of figuration, this monograph highlights the journey of a painter who witnessed the great upheavals of the century.
It reflects his artistic evolution since his first works at the end of the 1920s and his participation in the 1930s in

Articulated in a chronothematic way, the work presents a selection of the most significant works of the artist, informed by essays by recognized specialists and by an unpublished text by Pierre Bergounioux paying homage to the artist's poetry.
