These young designers did not limit themselves to salon painting, but put all their energy, fervour, inventiveness, inspiration at the service of large-scale works, monumental sculptures and murals, in churches and public places. They have thus largely contributed to the renewal and creative dynamism of the 1930s.
By Jean-Louis Cerisier, Marinette Delanné and Catherine Hellegouarch
