Bernard Rancillac's 'Algérie' Series and Art's Role in History
In 2001, Bernard Rancillac exhibited his painting series 'Algérie' at two venues: L'Ancien Carmel in Tarbes and La Tête d'Obsidienne in La Seyne-sur-Mer. The series was accompanied by a catalogue from which art press published an excerpt. In the catalogue, Rancillac argues that without art, history would lack flesh, voice, and color, remaining a dry written record.
