A sensuality, an art without concession or artifice.

We are all bearers and custodians of his work. Such a heritage does not only belong to our municipality, <\/span><\/p>\n it participates in the collective heritage, that is to say in the memory of each one. It is important to keep it so that everyone can discover it.<\/span><\/p>\n Mentor’s work therefore has its place in a museum, a place of conservation of our heritage, which will contribute to the enhancement of his works, to the development of educational and dissemination actions aimed at ensuring equal rights for all. access to culture.
