ANTO-CARTE - Les Offrandes (23)
Anto Carte (1886-1954) - Exhibition Beaux-Arts Mons (BAM) 2022
Artist from Mons who is both a painter, lithographer and illustrator, he became known beyond the borders by exhibiting in particular in the United States, Spain and Italy where he participated several times in the Venice Biennale.
He is an atypical artist out of step with his time and deeply rooted in the landscapes and people who inhabit it. If he did not often put himself at the service of the religious institution, his work is from start to finish crossed by a Christian feeling. What interests him, what moves him in the message of the Messiah, are precisely the feelings, the joy of motherhood, the pain of mourning, parenthood, universal feelings that one lives in Bethlehem or in the Borinage region (Mons). Another indelible marker of Anto Carte's work is that it is part of the social and geographical landscape of his region, of the people he meets on a daily basis. The largest paintings by the artist indeed revisit the classic themes of Christian iconography while celebrating the greatness of the peasant world.
