Until his violent death in an automobile accident, Camus produced some of the finest literary work to come out of France during this century. In hommage to this great writer, the Services Culturels Francais in cooperation with the French government have brought together a photographic exhibit of the author's life and his contributions to literary culture. The exhibit is currently on view at the Union Art Gallery in the Union until Oct. 14. Traces Life The exhibit traces Camus' life from early childhood up until his death on Jan. 5, 1960. The photographs are revealing for two reasons. Firstly, it shows the author as an artist and as a man; secondly, it reveals the author as a person intensely interested in his own time and in the condition of the human being. It portrays in graphic realism the motivations behind the man who wrote "L'Etranger." The photogrpphs explore Camus' experiences in Algeria and the hurting of the human condition in that country. Photos of authors Tolstoy, Melville, Nietzsche, Kafka and Moliere explain to the viewer the type of authors that had a profound impact upon the writer Camus. Political Motivated Camus Political beliefs also motivated Camus to present some outstanding plays, such as "Caligula," "L'Etat de Siege" t. "Les Justes." Photographs presa scenes from the plays and at I glimpses at rehearsals, with Camt directing almost all of the origin ' productions. Camus, througho-: ; his life, could not tolen:; ; injustice and cruelty toward I fellowmen. This caused him miit. 1 controversy among his critics, b: was one of the reasons for I i winning the Nobel Prize t: , ! Literature in 1957. Since Camus was a very ifcs human person, a view of his "Mr 5 ; de Vivre" (Joy of Life) is 3 ' interesting and at times am?::' though personal photos.
