Description
Art historian Marie Vuillemin dedicated her Master 2 thesis (EPHE) to the crypt of the Plateau d'Assy church (1937-1962), a little-known space that was a veritable laboratory for the revival of sacred art.
It reveals this exceptional ensemble - stained glass by Marguerite Huré, mosaics by Théodore Strawinsky, altar painting by Ladislas Kijno, missal by Odette Ducarre and Robert Morel, ensemble by Claude Mary - an essential witness to the bold vision of Père Couturier and Canon Devémy.
