La société artistique connue sous le nom de Groupe de Saint-Luc a marqué de son empreinte le patrimoine artistique et culturel de la Suisse, et en particulier de la Suisse romande, tout au long de l'entre-deux-guerres. Sur la base d’une recherche approfondie des abondantes sources d’archives produites par la Société et ses acteurs, cette publication propose une relecture de ce phénomène artistique majeur de la première moitié du XXe siècle, dans une perspective plurielle à la fois historique, sociologique, et de l’histoire des formes en art et en architecture. Elle vise à sortir le Groupe de Saint-Luc de son isolement pour l’inscrire au sein d’un large champ d’action européen au sein duquel s’entrecroisent les enjeux de l’architecture et de l’art moderne, de l’ouverture des milieux religieux à la modernité et des rapports entre l’Église et les artistes.
The artistic society known as "Groupe de Saint-Luc" left its mark on the artistic and cultural heritage of Switzerland, in particular French-speaking Switzerland, throughout the inter-war period. Based on in-depth research into the abundant archival sources produced by the Society and its members, this publication proposes a re-reading of this major artistic phenomenon of the first half of the 20th century, from a plural perspective that combines history, sociology and history of forms in art and architecture. It aims to take the "Groupe de Saint-Luc" out of isolation and set it within a broad European field of action, in which the issues of architecture and modern art, the opening of religious circles to modernity, and the relationship between the Church and artists are intertwined.
