"From the revival of sacred art in Assy to contemporary creations: a story of breath, truth and trust."
How did a mountain church, entrusted to artists of diverse convictions, become one of the masterpieces of 20th-century sacred art? And what does this visionary adventure tell us about contemporary creation today? Dominican friar, art historian and passionate mediator Marc Chauveau invites us to journey through the history of Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Grâce - from the audacity of Canon Devémy and Father Couturier to today's creations - to explore how art reveals transcendence and makes visible the invisible. A plunge into the heart of an incarnate spirituality, where beauty, truth and the quest for meaning meet yesterday as they do today.
