About Labor Robert
My WORKS are already in COLLECTIONS .... Public and private ..... LABOR Artist Me, I open doors of the past, the present and the future ... respectful of the past, active in the present moment, looking to the future ..A future which already no longer belongs to me ... I like to put myself in default, in abyss, on the adventure of the most unforeseen attempts, to wander in the evolution of the thought (of the creative thought) in the time and the space, an investigation in this disorder ( Entropy) of History and men for the light to emerge, a little spark that straight handle up me on instantly in this fugitive feeling of revelation that seduces me, and interests us and gives us the feeling of really existing ... Here is my painting That is my WAY Far from all trend, from all modes and consensus, me ,creole coming from my ancestors of adventurers who thrived to the conquest of the oceans to discover the islands and mingle with the miscegenation of the world... here is my way ...the journey of my genes and my DNA I have not yet found my port, my home port, free like the trade wind that plays with our mountains and our coast ... Tomorrow will never be like yesterday ... But my soul says me... the trace, the wake of my boat brings with it the krill of the deep seas http://contenu-art.eu/thought.htm

Today, July 5, 2017, I just discovered that an article about me was written in Wikimonde, in which I discovered a big mistake (History and appreciation) ... that I must correct, ... certainly due to a lack of Knowledge of this period 1960/70: https://plus.wikimonde.com/wiki/Labor_Robert
I read the first sentence of the text: "After a bachelor's degree in elementary mathematics, he ... (speaking of me, Labor robert) ... is admitted on a post-baccalaureate course at the Claude Bernard high school in Paris) where he obtains a" Drawing and the visual arts "(section" drawing "disappeared) which only opens up to teaching"
... ..
Here is my rectification (impossible to rectify on the text of WIKIMONDE):
I would like to point out that I was NOT admitted on a post-baccalaureate competition as it is written ... .because at this time I was already working to make a living ... I prepared by correspondence my diploma ... indeed in 1960 I was already a painter appreciated in my entourage and I exposed in the gallery AZUR in Montpellier ... and this familiar practice of drawing and painting made it easier my adaptation and my preparation to the requirements of the 'school…
The preparation for the Professorship of the Lycée Claude Bernard, a school well known at the time for its exigency and perhaps its elitism, was at that time the only great school preparing the teachers of Plastic Arts, Professors who taught everywhere In France, ... not only in high schools and colleges, but also in schools where drawing was important in the general education of pupils or students ... schools renowned as for example the soldiers of St Cyr ... .ST-CYR , Who had at that time a drawing of Drawing after nature, which often separated the students in the competitions ...
The Universities departments Arts as today did not exist yet ... and the first professors of the Universities -Arts newly created, were the same professors Claude Bernard ... were graduated like me of the Diploma of Drawing and plastic arts Claude Bernard
Very ancient times whose history one must know
Other words that shocked me too: This sentence "that formation opens only on the teaching" ... a restriction suggesting that Claude Bernard's pupils were not prepared for an artist career ... What I refute Strongly: To pretend that it is totally unaware of the quality of teaching to Claude Bernard ... Teaching as practical as intellectual ... in 1960 I was already a painter and I can say that I learned a lot from this training ... Particular, would be that, of the reading of works of art, painting as much as sculpture
We had the choice: .while practicing an exciting teaching, the question is whether we had anything to say in our own creations ... What continues to excite me today in ART after 60 years of work
