Jacques Monory, the internationally acclaimed painter, filmmaker, and writer, born in Paris in 1934, showcased a collection of recent paintings titled "Nuit" (Night) for the first time in Portugal at Galeria António Prates. This body of work expresses the autobiographical aspect of his art, depicting a vast fresco of contemporary society in which the artist engages with a critical gaze. The paintings immerse us in a blue and submerged horizon of a never-ending nightmare.

Jacques Monory

Born in Paris in 1924, Jacques Monory was not only a painter but also dedicated himself to performances, photography, theater, and detective literature. He considered himself an enthusiastic and outspoken film lover. His first solo exhibition took place in 1955 at the Kleber Gallery in Paris. From then on, Monory had his work displayed in prestigious galleries and international museums. It is worth noting that seven monographs about his work have been published by renowned authors such as Bailly, Jouffroy, Tilman, not to mention the brilliant J.F. Lyotard. Jacques Monory is regarded as a leading figure of the "Narrative Figuration" movement of the 60s, an aesthetic current that is the heir to Pop Art. His paintings, films, and texts reveal a cold irony about the world, where obsessions alternate with collective myths, making this artist a relevant witness of our time. His work can be found in important public and private collections, as well as being part of the heritage of the most prominent international museums. He passed away in October 2018.
