Armand Auxiètre always bathed in the world of the collection.His
grandfather and his father before him constituted, according to time
and discoveries, a collection of many and various objects, ancient books and objects coming from all parts of Africa.During his youth, Armand evolves in a particular world, where he educates his look naturally.Having
crossed several certificates of cabinetmaking, he crosses successfully
his certificate of the jobs of art to the Ecole Boulle, and develops
at the same time his knowledge in african art.The attraction between the african sculpture and Armand Auxiètre is first plastic, immediate, obvious.A love was born, which will be developed in the course of meetings, discoveries and of readings.Soon
the pleasure of being encircled with items becoming too big to resist
the desire to share this passion, Armand takes back the ancient
bookshop of his grandmother, and perpetuates the family presence
initiated in the fifties in 41, street of Verneuil, by creating the
gallery "L'Oeil et la Main".The
name of the gallery is chosen as a tribute to the job of the artists,
mostly unknown in the field of african traditional art, who create
and give life to material by the joint by means of their look and the hands.Temporary
exhibitions are regularly organised and give the occasion to offer to the look of the amateurs, experts or not, objects answering continuously
updated themes. Located
in historical Paris and in a building with an ancient charm, Armand Auxiètre's gallery introduces a selection of works of art of a high plastic
quality, which it makes good consider for a long time.
