Published to accompany an exhibition at the Lambert Collection in Avignon, this catalogue creates a dialogue between the Collection's minimalist artists - Robert Barry, Robert Ryman, Robert Mangold, Richard Serra, Sol LeWitt and Brice Marden, among others - and Djamel Tatah's work. Tatah paints life-size figures which seem to be suspended in time, set in unspecified places and caught up in a world of silence. His work shows a clear relationship with modernist and contemporary monochrome painting, but it is also part of a more classical tradition; therefore, the Paris School of Fine Art, where Tatah has taught since 2008, has loaned over fifty works from its own collection, including works by Delacroix, Matisse, Corneille de Lyon, Cimabue, Giotto, Piero della Francesca and more, with a view to broadening the dialogue with Djamel Tatah's work over time.
