Day three in Paris, France.
Walking back to town from the Jardin des Plantes ... strolling along the banks of the Seine. We passed small parks and gardens, sculptures in fresh air, river boats, and people enjoying their day. This sculpture is situated in the Musee de la Sculpture en Plein Air, Jardin Tino Rossi, Quai Saint-Bernard.
Étienne Martin (1913–1995) was a French non-figurative sculptor.
He was born Henri Étienne-Martin 4 February 1913 in Loriol, Drôme, France. He attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Lyon from 1929 to 1933, where he met Marcel Michaud. Martin moved to Paris in 1934, working at the studio of Charles Malfray at the Académie Ranson where he came into contact with such painters as Roger Bissière, Jean Le Moal, Jean Bertholle, Alfred Manessier, Zelman, Véra Pagava, and the sculptor François Stahly. With them, he became part of the group Témoignage, which had exhibitions in Paris in 1938 and 1939. He worked primarily in wood and plaster, creating works inspired by his childhood memories of his home in Loriol. Later sculpture included bronze, string, and textiles.
During World War II Étienne Martin was a prisoner in Germany and was liberated in 1941. In 1942 he traveled to Oppède with Stahly et Zelman and then in 1943-1944 he went to Dieulefit, Drôme where he met the writer Henri-Pierre Roché. Next he moved to Mortagne-au-Perche, Normandy. On his return to Paris in 1947 he lived with Roché, and he met Brâncuși and Gurdjieff. Over the next dozen years he became spiritual, practicing Eastern religions including Taoism.
In 1954 Martin began his series of Demeures (Dwellings) for which he became well known. He received in 1966 the grand prize for sculpture in the 33rd Venice Biennale. He was a professor and head of the sculpture department from 1968 to 1983 at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was elected 1971 to the Académie des beaux-arts.
In 1984 an exhibition bringing together all his Demeures was held at the Pompidou Center in Paris. In 2010, June to September, a new exhibition at the Pompidou Center, paid respect to the artist by showing fifteen sculptures, drawing, personal notebooks, and photographs of his studio.
He died on March 21, 1995 in Paris from cardiac arrest.

Alfred MANESSIER
(Saint-Ouen, 1911 - Orléans, 1993)
La veilleuse
1945-1946
Huile sur toile, 41 x 27 cm

QUIMPER Musée des Beaux-Arts
Pendant les années de guerre, Manessier s'attache à décrire les objets les plus modestes, lampes à pétrole, bougies. Ces sujets humbles prêtent aussi à l'étude des formes mouvantes et éphémères des flammes. Une forte symbolique de l'espoir vient se greffer à l'expérience spirituelle que connaît Manessier en 1943 lors d'un séjour à la Trappe de Soligny. Ici, la flamme démesurée qui s'échappe du réchaud prend une signification qui symbolise tant la résurrection de la Nation après la fin de la guerre que celle de l'artiste sur un plan spirituel.
Cartel du musée
Cette toile aux pigments éclatants provient de la collection de Jeannine et Pierre Consten, collectionneurs avisés de l’art du XXe siècle. En 1945, Alfred Manessier est alors un artiste qui, après avoir connu l’influence du surréalisme, se tourne vers une synthèse réussie du fauvisme et du cubisme.
Cette œuvre d’Alfred Manessier offre de nombreuses correspondances, du moins par le sujet et son intériorisation, avec l’œuvre de Jean Bazaine. Peinte au sortir d’une période de grande angoisse et de privations multiples, cette toile lumineuse transmet la joie rayonnante d’une liberté retrouvée. L’immense flamme, qui forme le motif central de cette composition très structurée, s’évade de l’armature rigide de la lampe. La dimension métaphorique de l’œuvre n’en apparaît ainsi que plus évidente. Cette veilleuse symbolise également la force spirituelle qui habite l’artiste depuis son séjour en 1943 chez les moines trappistes de Soligny. Peinte à un moment clé du cheminement artistique de Manessier, cette toile prépare le passage de toute une génération de peintres à la pratique de la non figuration. Cette dernière période est aujourd’hui bien représentée dans les collections du musée avec des œuvres de Bazaine et Le Moal.
