Mennessons 1923-1983

One of Mennessons’ first etched works was called Je voudrais être un nuage (I wish I were a cloud). Throughout his life as a painter and sculptor he shunned the static, which for him was synonymous with death, and instead sought movement, particularly movement towards light. For him, his work was about the search for profound order, as it is in life. He influenced his works just as they influenced him. He is gone but they remain, witnesses of peace and life.
