Philosophers Contemporary Art Paintings

What would Europe be without its philosophy? Western philosophy has multiplied ideas, with a continuous renewal of its lines of thought : idealism, pragmatism, existentialism, metaphysics… European philosophy has brought its best ideas to politics, ethics, art, mathematics, physics…
On the eve of Brexit I have chosen to pay my tribute to this European patrimony by painting distressed portraits of a number of prominent European philosophers.
