OIL ON CANVAS 100X73CM DATED87 FROM THE BEAUTIFUL SERIES "LE MATIN DES NOIRS".
PROVENANCE GALERIE ART VIVANT IN NIMES WHERE THE ARTIST EXHIBITED.
MONOGRAPH PUBLISHED BY CERCLE D'ART. THE DANIEL GERVIS AND KARL FLINKER GALLERIES IN PARIS REGULARLY EXHIBITED HIS WORK AND PRESENTED IT AT THE FIAC.

"Alain Ghertman is a strange man: he's known today for his drawings, which appear every week in Le Canard enchaîné, but a whole part of his work remains in the shadows. For Ghertman is a painter. He's part of that generation born immediately after the end of the war.
the end of the war, who knew of its atrocities, shared them without having experienced them, and feel as a personal wound all those that are being committed today. It is this wound that he paints: numerous self-portraits, distorted to the point of nightmare, hanging from carefully tightened ropes, disturbing silhouettes of gangsters and police officers. We're reminded of Goya's House of the Deaf, Bacon, the German Expressionists and many other cursed artists. Ghertman's works, with their cruel beauty, are a must-see. They are those of an artist who has not chosen the easy way of pleasing, and who wishes to make it clear that if his painting is often described as "black", it is because for me it corresponds to indignation. I'm no less capable of distance, derision, irony, humor, even gaiety...".
