| The Museum of Jewish Art and History opened in
1998 in the Marais quarter of Paris. Following the competition for
the visual identity of the museum, the application of the graphic
designer Philippe Apeloig was accepted, but at the same time the jury
asked ihm a new concept. |
|
| Philippe Apeloig imagined a different path, simpler
and more obvious, but also less original: the menorah, the candelabrum
with seven branches. And so he began to evaluate how sensitive the
subject is, how strong the contradictions and the constraints are.
This book retraces the development of his thoughts,
his iconographic research and his sketches. |
