Albert Brenet
Albert Brenet, who recently celebrated his hundredth birthday, is surely the last of the true adventurers, having spent his life sailing the oceans of the world as the French Navy's official artist. He was born in Harfleur, near Le Havre, in 1903, and 'at home, the talk was always about the wind, the sea, and the ships'. Then there were the three-masters with their exotically perfumed cargoes of spices and coffee. The turning point in his life came when he first caught sight of the Bonchamp, one of the last three-masters to ply the seas, built at the turn of the century. As the crew was two men short, Albert gained a place on board and spent the next seven months sailing 'as they did in Colbert's day' - no electricity and just two buckets of freshwater per man per week. In between manning the rigging, he captured every instant of life on board, even in the roughest of seas. From that moment on, Albert painted and drew everything that moved, from the firemen of Los Angeles to the feria in Seville, and, of course, a whole armada of ships. He became one of the Navy's official painters in 1936. Albert thrilled to the sights of the Orient - the mosques of Iran, the souks of Tunisia - and was endlessly fascinated by the quality and continuity of Japanese civilization. Now enjoying a peaceful and well-deserved retirement south of Paris, Albert is the only artist ever to have been granted specialties in all three services - Army, Navy, and Air Force. Three exhibitions are being staged to mark Albert Brenet's hundredth birthday - in Perros-Guirec (Côtes-d'Armor), Le Havre, and Paris, at the Musée de la Marine.

- 1943 original poster titled "Katyn - Paradise Underground..."Located in PARIS, FRThe 1943 poster titled "Katyn - Paradise Underground..." is a poignant and historically significant artwork that sheds light on a tragic chapter of World War II. Created during a tumultuous time, this poster serves as a visual reminder of the atrocities committed at Katyn. The artist behind this poster is not widely known, but their message is powerful. The poster features an arresting image of bound hands breaking free from the earth, symbolizing the victims of the Katyn Massacre who were executed and buried in mass graves. Katyn, a forest in Russia, became the site of a mass murder of Polish military officers and intellectuals by the Soviet NKVD in 1940. The poster's title, "Paradise Underground," is ironic, as it alludes to the horrific fate that befell these victims who were buried in secret graves. This poster is significant not only for its artistic composition but also for its role in raising awareness about the Katyn Massacre during the war. It was essential in disseminating information about the Soviet Union's actions, which had initially been denied by Soviet authorities. Today, "Katyn - Paradise Underground..." stands as a somber testament to the enduring power of art to convey complex and tragic narratives. It reminds us of the importance of remembering historical events and the role that art plays...Category
