The central panel of the Issenheim altarpiece from Grünewald inspired me for the composition of my series: three characters on the left, Jesus Christ in the center, and one last character on the right. On this painting and second in the series, Jesus Christ, symbol of equity, is represented with the stigmata of religious and popular iconography. Added to the halo and the stigmata, tattoos that symbolize the ill of our contemporary era: such as the logo of a specialist in agricultural biotechnology, or the skyline of a city built thanks to the sand washed away from the oceans to the detriment of marine ecosystems, or the Almighty Dollar or the vital automobile. In the painting, the halo has faded, which places Jesus in the rank of a rebellious man. The song Le Temps des Cerises, associated with the Paris Commune of 1871, was originally written in 1866 by Jean-Baptiste Clément and composed by Antoine Renard in 1868. This assimilation is due to its imprecise text where we can see the metaphor of a Revolution. Because of its happy but nostalgic context, it actually ended up taking on this iconic revolutionary character. It has been taken up by many artists: Prevert, giving to it an antimilitarist character, Ferrat explaining his loyalty to Communism, Paul Paillette writing an anarchist song on this same melody, Yves Montand for a concert in favor of Chile in 1974, and many others. The French Army Choir interpreted the song as a tribute to the victims of the January and November 2015 terrorists’ attacks. This song has increased its emotional charge, protest and generated a desire for change over the years. Its evocative title is perfect for these series of paintings. I thank you for your interest Use of acrylic, the newest medium in painting, because it suits the excitement of our time. © 2017 Ludovic Jaccoud Artwork. All rights reserved.

Le panneau central du retable d’Issenheim de Grünewald m’a inspiré pour la composition de cette série : Trois personnages sur la gauche, Jésus Christ au centre et un dernier personnage sur la droite. Sur le présent tableau et deuxième de la série, Jésus Christ, symbole d’équité, est représenté avec les stigmates de l’iconographie religieuse et populaire. S’ajoutent à l’auréole et aux stigmates, des tatouages qui symbolisent les maux de l’époque : tel le logo d’un spécialiste des biotechnologies agricoles, la skyline d’une ville construite grâce au sable prélevé des océans au détriment des écosystèmes marins, le Dollar tout-puissant ou l’indispensable automobile. Sur le tableau, l’auréole a pâli. Ce qui place Jésus au rang d’homme révolté. La chanson, Le temps des Cerises, associée à la Commune de Paris de 1871, a, au départ, était écrite en 1866 par Jean-Baptiste Clément et composée par Antoine Renard en 1868. Cette assimilation est due à son texte imprécis où on peut voir la métaphore d’une révolution. De par son contexte joyeux mais nostalgique, elle a fini par réellement revêtir ce caractère révolutionnaire emblématique. Elle a été reprise par de nombreux artistes. Prévert, en lui donnant un caractère antimilitariste, Ferrat expliquant sa fidélité au Communisme, Paul Paillette qui écrit une chanson anarchiste sur sa mélodie, Yves Montand pour un concert en faveur du Chili de 1974 et bien d’autres. Le Chœur de l’Armée Française l’interprétera en hommage aux victimes des attentats de janvier et novembre 2015. Cette chanson n’a fait qu’augmenter sa charge émotionnelle, contestataire et a été génératrice d’un désir de changement au fil des époques. Son titre évocateur convient parfaitement à cette série de peintures. Merci de votre intérêt.
