Annie Antoine, professeure \u00e9m\u00e9rite et historienne originaire du bocage vend\u00e9en, et Patrick Avrillas, pr\u00e9sident d\u2019Histoire culture et patrimoine des Pays de Ri\u00e9 et de Vie,incarnent tous deux l\u2019esprit d\u2019enqu\u00eate et la volont\u00e9 de partager. En ce sens, le tandem avait d\u2019ailleurs sign\u00e9 La cartographie des \u00eeles du Marais<\/em>, en 2022, t\u00e9moignant d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u2019une app\u00e9tence pour les racines et la m\u00e9moire collective.  Pour ce faire, nous nous sommes souvent entour\u00e9s de comp\u00e9tences externes<\/q>, pr\u00e9cise Patrick Avrillas. E<\/strong> t cette fois pour notre nouveau livre, \u00c9mile Boutin, peintre vend\u00e9en 1874-1951<\/em>, nous nous sommes appuy\u00e9s sur les travaux de Ren\u00e9 Doudard.

<\/h5>\n
L\u2019aventure de l\u2019\u00e9criture de ce nouveau livre a d\u00e9but\u00e9 par la d\u00e9couverte d\u2019un carnet de timbres, \u00e9mis en 2015 par La Poste. Y figurent d\u2019illustres peintres, tels que Vincent Van Gogh et \u00c9douard Manet, au milieu desquels une nature morte, un bouquet de fleurs, est sign\u00e9e par le Vend\u00e9en \u00c9mile Boutin.  L\u2019anecdote aurait pu rester une simple curiosit\u00e9 philat\u00e9lique. Mais nous avons pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 explorer un fonds m\u00e9connu, libre de droit. D\u2019autant que 100 \u0153uvres ont \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9es au mus\u00e9e des Arts et traditions populaires de Marseille, d\u00e8s 1942.

\u00c0 para\u00eetre prochainement, l\u2019ouvrage rassemble ainsi 260 pages et pr\u00e8s de 600 illustrations. Chaque page distillant images et r\u00e9miniscences.  Loin d\u2019\u00eatre un trait\u00e9 d\u2019Histoire de l\u2019art, mettre en lumi\u00e8re ce peintre r\u00e9gionaliste, ethnologue, architecte du d\u00e9tail, et enracin\u00e9 dans la m\u00e9moire du pays, nous tient \u00e0 c\u0153ur. En arpentant les chemins du marais et de la corniche vend\u00e9enne, il a immortalis\u00e9 les paysages d\u2019antan dont leurs bourrines, leurs petites rues ou la cabane des douaniers <\/q> ,<\/strong> explique Annie Antoine. Le lecteur peut donc retrouver les nuances d\u2019une r\u00e9gion, o\u00f9 chaque objet, chaque demeure et chaque paysage participent au grand r\u00e9cit local. Les paysages vend\u00e9ens entrant dans l\u2019Histoire, les auteurs nous tendent un miroir o\u00f9 se refl\u00e8tent nos propres histoires, nos attachements secrets \u00e0 une terre ou \u00e0 un visage,  Comme une invitation \u00e0 les d\u00e9couvrir, ou les red\u00e9couvrir <\/q>, conclut-elle.<\/h5>\n

These people from Vend\u00e9e highlight \u00c9mile Boutin, an obscure regionalist painter<\/h5>\n
 <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Through the eyes of Annie Antoine and Patrick Avrillas, \u00c9mile Boutin, a painter from the Vend\u00e9e region who lived from 1874 to 1951, is honoured. The book comprises 260 pages and nearly 600 illustrations.<\/h5>\n
 <\/h5>\n
Annie Antoine, professor emeritus and historian from the Vend\u00e9e countryside, and Patrick Avrillas, president of Histoire Culture et Patrimoine des Pays de Ri\u00e9 et de Vie, both embody the spirit of inquiry and the desire to share. In this spirit, the duo co-authored La cartographie des \u00eeles du Marais<\/em> (Mapping the Islands of the Marshes) in 2022, demonstrating their keen interest in local roots and collective memory. To do this, we often sought outside expertise,\u00a0\u00bb explains Patrick Avrillas. \u00ab\u00a0This time, for our new book, \u00c9mile Boutin, peintre vend\u00e9en 1874-1951 (\u00c9mile Boutin, painter from the Vend\u00e9e 1874-1951), we drew on the work of Ren\u00e9 Doudard. It was his research that fuelled its creation,\u00a0\u00bb he adds.<\/h5>\n
 <\/h5>\n
 <\/h5>\n
A literary approach: promoting the local area<\/h5>\n
 <\/h5>\n
The adventure of writing this new book began with the discovery of a stamp booklet, issued in 2015 by La Poste. It features illustrious painters such as Vincent Van Gogh and \u00c9douard Manet, among whom is a still life, a bouquet of flowers, signed by \u00c9mile Boutin from the Vend\u00e9e region. This anecdote could have remained a mere philatelic curiosity. But we preferred to explore a little-known, copyright-free collection. Especially since 100 works were donated to the Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions in Marseille in 1942. These works trace the contours of a life devoted to promoting the region, he emphasises.<\/h5>\n
 <\/h5>\n
 <\/h5>\n
The book: a treasure trove of memories and a fresco of the Vend\u00e9e region<\/h5>\n
 <\/h5>\n
Due to be published shortly, the book comprises 260 pages and nearly 600 illustrations. Each page distils images and memories. Far from being a treatise on art history, we are keen to shine a light on this regionalist painter, ethnologist, architect of detail, and figure rooted in the memory of the country. Walking the paths of the marshes and the Vend\u00e9e coastline, he immortalised the landscapes of yesteryear, including their bourrines (traditional stone huts), narrow streets and customs officers’ huts,\u00a0\u00bb explains Annie Antoine. Readers can therefore discover the nuances of a region where every object, every dwelling and every landscape contributes to the great local narrative. As the landscapes of the Vend\u00e9e become part of history, the authors hold up a mirror to our own stories, our secret attachments to a place or a face,  inviting us to discover or rediscover them <\/q>, she concludes.<\/h5>\n
