Les Grands Hommes Debout ou l'Infini Suspendu

L'infini suspendu is a work imagined and created by the artist Christian Lapie for Eymoutiers (2013). The work is composed of two groups of carved figures in blackened hundred-year-old oak facing each other, 3 in the vicinity of the old convent, 12 in the park of Pré Lanaud, seeming to dialogue. These standing sentinels echo the collective memory of the Resistance, very strong in the area. The artist writes: "In this environment the spirit of resistance, permanence, robustness, simplicity, dialogue, uprightness, commitment, resilience are palpable. The human is here a solid and standing group".
