“J1 Vol 3” (2010) is a portfolio made of 14 prints, highlighted with watercolor, colored pencils… These prints deal with the themes of the childhood and France during the war. Two off-prints and some original drawings will be exhibited, as well as the two previous part of the illustrated diary : “J1 Vol 1” (2004) and “J1 Vol 2” (2005).
In these three portfolios, Pierre Buraglio drawed, cut, sticked, put together images — his house, his father’s car, banks of the river Marne — and words — onomatopoeia, soldiers voices, children words…

The historian and University teacher Annette Becker, who is specialized in cultural representations of war, is writing a text to go with the exhibition.
