Jean Rigaud and Louis Arretche are prisoners of war in Stalag VIIA, and collaborate with other prisoner painters to create the "Baraque des Artistes", a veritable art school in Stalag VII A.
Louis Arretche (1905-1991) was a major architect of the Trente Glorieuses, known for his reconstruction and modernization projects in France. In particular, he contributed to the post-war reconstruction of Saint-Malo, the redevelopment of Rennes with the Place de la République, and the Jardin des Halles in Paris. Arretche also influenced the teaching of architecture as a professor at the Écoles des Beaux-Arts. His approach combined modernity, functionality and respect for urban heritage, leaving a lasting mark on the architecture of his time.
