edit data

Jacques Élie Faure (4 April 1873 – 29 October 1937) was a French medical doctor, art historian and essayist.

Faure was called "the greatest art critic of the 1920s and 30s". He is the author of the History of Art, considered a historiographical pillar in the discipline.

Dr. Faure was drafted as a military doctor at the front line during the First World War. He was quickly traumatized by the fighting and moved to the rear of the battlefield.

His book, La Sainte Face (The Holy Face), published in 1917 retraces his time as a frontline doctor from August 1914 to August 1915. The second part, "Far from the Fire", describes his convalescence in Paris and Côte d'Azur. ...more

Quotes by Élie Faure (?)

“Whatever god he adores, or even if he rejects all the gods, the man who desires to create cannot express himself if he does not feel in his veins the flow of all the rivers- even those which carry along sand and putrefaction, he is not realizing his entire being if he does not see the light of all the constellations, even those which no longer shine, if the primeval fire, even when locked beneath the crust of the earth, does not consume his nerves, if the hearts of all men, even the dead, even those still to be born, do not beat in his heart, if abstraction does not mount from his senses to his soul to raise it to the plane of the laws which cause men to act, the rivers to flow, the fire to burn, and the constellations to revolve.”
