Visite commentée à deux voix "des livres et des oeuvres" à la Maison Ravier
Saturday June 29 at 10:00 a.m.
Discover the temporary exhibitions at Maison Ravier in an original way. Embark on a journey between literature and painting, in two voices. In partnership with the Morestel Christian Rival Media Library.
As part of the exhibition: Joseph Communal (1876-1962), The Alps and beyond.
Joseph-Victor Communal, born February 11, 1876 in Châtelard-en-Bauges and died November 26, 1962 in Chambéry, is a French painter, member of the Society of Mountain Painters (SPM).
The son of a road worker, he went to live in Chambéry and joined the Ponts et Chaussées as a clerk at the age of 18, after obtaining his primary school certificate. He then began to paint regularly in his spare time. Mobilized during the First World War, he became a soldier painter and received the Croix de Guerre 1914-1918.
He paints with a knife, in large flat areas, perfectly representing the mountain reliefs and sometimes revealing the underlying support (most often wooden panel). His training is that of an autodidact. Later, he recognized Ferdinand Hodler and Giovanni Segantini as masters of painting, artists he did not know when he started. He paints both alpine landscapes where the mountain appears in the background, as well as tighter views of the high mountains, as if taken with a telephoto lens, but also pastoral scenes or floral compositions.
