THE SACRÉ-CŒUR: MONTMARTRE’S MASTERPIECE

The Sacré-Cœur basilica is a masterpiece of grace and grandeur. Built at the end of the 19th century in the Romano-Byzantine style, it is dedicated to the heart of Christ and is an important place of worship in the capital. It houses the largest mosaic in France, measuring no less than 480 m²!

 

PAUL YGARTUA The complexity and diversity of Ygartua’s creations are a testament to his genius, consequently, this is precisely reflected in his mastery and diversity of techniques which is astonishing. His indomitable spirit and fervour motivate him to change course,  moving from one style to the next impatient and impulsive. He does not paint for posterity, he is unconcerned about eventual homogeneity in his artistic production. Yet, upon studying his work, it seems that there is a guiding principle that is predominant in all his creations, the same mastery of technique, the same presence of colour, and an absurd spontaneity. He executes a monumental mural in days, with no assistance, no projector, just his brush it is remarkable. His canvases are all painted in one or two hours, the larger they are the more exhilarating the execution, there is no procrastination upon creating, regardless of whether it is an abstract or super realism.

 

La complexité et la diversité des créations d’Ygartua témoignent de son génie.  Cela se reflète dans sa maîtrise d’une étonnante variété de styles et de techniques. Paul Ygartua possède un esprit impulsif et un élan artistique indomptable qui l’ont poussé à passer d’un style à un autre incessamment tout au long de sa carrière. Il ne peint pas pour la postérité, il ne se soucie pas d’une éventuelle homogénéité de sa production artistique. Pourtant, à l’étude de son travail, il semble quand même qu’il y ait un fil conducteur qui prédomine dans toutes ses créations : une maîtrise incontestable des techniques, une présence instinctive de la couleur et une spontanéité extravagante. 

Il exécute une fresque monumentale en quelques jours, sans aide, sans projecteur, juste son pinceau.  C’est tout simplement épatant.  Ses toiles sont peintes en une ou deux heures et plus elles sont grandes plus l’exécution est stimulante.  Il n’y a jamais d’hésitation lors d’une création, qu’il s’agisse d’un abstrait ou d’un tableau réaliste.
