L’œuvre “Nuit de Cristal” évoque la nuit tragique du 9 novembre 1938, durant laquelle des milliers de vitrines de commerces juifs furent brisées à travers l’Allemagne nazie et l’Autriche. Le collage en noir et blanc, marqué par des fragments de verre brisé, reproduit la violence et le chaos de cette nuit.
Au centre, une forme géométrique émerge d’un fond doré. Ce symbole, à la fois discret et puissant, interpelle par son incomplétude, laissant au spectateur la liberté d’y projeter son interprétation. Les fissures, telles des cicatrices, déchirent les photographies d’archives et projettent le spectateur dans une mémoire douloureuse.
Le panneau jaune portant l’inscription “Niemals vergessen – Ne jamais oublier” et la date “9/11/1938” ancre cette œuvre dans un devoir de mémoire universel.
2. Intention de l’Artiste
Avec “Nuit de Cristal”, j’ai voulu matérialiser la fragilité de la dignité humaine face à la haine et à l’intolérance. Le verre brisé ne représente pas seulement la violence de cette nuit, mais aussi la rupture irréparable d’un tissu social.
La forme géométrique au centre n’est pas une représentation explicite, mais un symbole de mémoire et de réflexion. Sa présence incomplète invite à interroger la manière dont les stigmates du passé continuent d’habiter nos sociétés. Ce symbole incarne à la fois l’absence et le souvenir, le silence et la résonance de la souffrance.
Cette œuvre s’inscrit dans la démarche du TPE ART (Toucher, Provoquer, Émouvoir) : bousculer les consciences, susciter l’empathie et rappeler que l’oubli est le terreau de la répétition. Nuit de Cristal est un appel silencieux mais puissant à rester vigilants face aux dérives de l’humanité.

Franck Attar is a contemporary French artist. His artistic journey was profoundly influenced by a pivotal moment in 2012: the Pierre Soulages exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon. This encounter with Soulages's work served as a revelation, igniting a spark within Franck and prompting a profound liberation of the spirit. Inspired to delve deeper into the realm of abstract art, Soulages became his spiritual Master, guiding Franck on a path of artistic exploration and self-discovery.
Despite being completely self-taught, Franck embarked on a journey of introspection and experimentation, navigating through years filled with the challenges of creating his own tools, grappling with doubts, experiencing progress, and confronting disappointments. Throughout this tumultuous process, one constant remained: his unwavering need, necessity, and desire to paint.
Franck's artistic expression finds its voice in abstract, informal painting—an approach characterized by spontaneity, intuition, and a rejection of artistic barriers. His canvases serve as a visual diary, drawing inspiration from both the past and his daily experiences, weaving together a collection of abstract poetry that reflects the essence of his life and journey.
In Franck's hands, painting becomes a non-verbal language, a means of exploring the purity and candor of human existence and striving to illuminate it with the light of artistic expression. Each canvas represents a canvas of doubts, questions, and discovery—a testament to Franck's relentless pursuit of truth and beauty through the medium of abstract art.
