René Benjamin (1885-1948), was a remarkable French literary figure of the early 20th century. A prolific author, he distinguished himself in diverse genres, from novels to plays, including portraits and pamphlets. His work, imbued with sharp social observations and satirical wit, bears witness to the upheavals of his time. René Benjamin's literary career was profoundly affected by the First World War. Seriously wounded in September 1914, he spent several months in the Tours hospital where he wrote "Gaspard," a novel that earned him the prestigious Prix Goncourt in 1915. A tireless lecturer and committed polemicist, his career was marked by undeniable literary successes but also by political controversies, notably his support for Marshal Pétain during the Occupation, which brought him disgrace after the Second World War. Jean Lefort (1875-1954), was a painter, watercolorist, and illustrator, known for his dynamic compositions. Mobilized in 1914, Lefort served as a stretcher-bearer and produced an extensive body of work documenting life on the front lines. His war art includes over 600 aquarelles and numerous sketchbooks, capturing scenes such as aid posts, wounded soldiers, and daily life in the trenches. .
