Marie-Alain Couturier: A Name to be Remembered

This article addresses part of the life and work of Marie-Alain Couturier, French Dominican friar and Catholic priest who played a prominent role in the field of the Sacred Art of the 20th century. Forgotten or simply ignored by most of art historians (History is also made of silences and absences), Marie-Alain Couturier died at age 56, certainly a very young age for someone who had so much to give. The Author thanks Professor and Art Historian Gerd-Helge Vogel and the Visual Artist Rafael Frota for their generous cooperation.
