Title: Jean Paul Sartre
The presentation of Jean Paul Sartre’s work at the French national library talks about a period of the history of philosophy from the twentieth century. The exhibit was the idea of Mauricette Berne with the collaboration of Michel Sicard and it was inaugurated on the 9 of March to commemorate the centenary of the philosopher’s birth.
The exhibit displays the author’s work and many newspaper articles from newspapers such as Le Combat, Figaro, Les Temps Modernes, La Gauche, La Cause du Peuple and Libération among others.
The love life of Sartre is represented in the photographs of his cousin Simone Jollivet for whom he felt a type of platonic love, his friend and lover Dolores Vanetti and finally Michelle Vian.
The existentialist current was born with Sartre’s conference on the 29 of October of 1945 titled L’existentialisme est un humanisme that appeared in the newspaper Le Combat.
Jean Paul Sartre was a communist but later on repented and became a critic of communism. In 1964, Sartre received the Nobel prize in literature which he refused to accept.
