EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking print captures a pivotal moment in French history - the suppression of crucifixes in the courts during the separation of Church and State in 1904. The image depicts Christ, removed from his crucifix, questioning the future of France with a poignant "France!!! Quo vadis?" In the background, the French motto "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite" is written on the wall, emphasizing the values at stake. The symbolism in this living painting is striking - it speaks to the tension between religion and government, tradition and progress. The figure of Christ serves as a potent reminder of faith and sacrifice, while also raising questions about secularism and freedom. The decision to remove crucifixes from public spaces was undoubtedly controversial at the time, reflecting broader debates about power dynamics and individual rights. Through this image, artist Jaime Abecasis invites viewers to reflect on France's complex history and ongoing struggles with identity. It challenges us to consider how we navigate issues of belief and governance in our own societies. As we gaze upon this arresting scene, we are reminded that art has the power to provoke dialogue and inspire change.
