"Nunc est quia factumst” now it’s done, two characters levitating.

One in white with the very recognizable face of Pierre Bernotte cuts his stone with mallet and chisel, with this message “It is in the fields of heaven that I plow”.

The other in black supports the weight of time symbolized by three hourglasses, the sand of the last one in his hands having almost run out.

A life between heaven and earth, the stone becoming a cenotaph for Bernotte, is the work really accomplished...

Pierre Bernotte is a French painter born on February 19, 1929 in Lubersac and died in Limoges on July 13, 1996.

A committed and unclassifiable man, he seduces the painter photographer Raoul Hausmann, figurehead of Dadaism, who took refuge in Limoges during the Second World War. They make a short film together "The man who is afraid of bombs".

A dynamic work which is not limited to a style. Theatrical communication, different languages, different vectors, adaptations, movements, translations, constant questioning.

We are faced with an artistic "polyphony". The artist creates, improvises, experiments with an unquenchable thirst.

He joined the artists referenced Maecene Arts at the request of his daughter Véronique in 2014.
