In 2002, a Philadelphia resident discovered by chance, in the attic of his house, an unknown painting by the painter Joseph Gaignault, assassinated very young in Paris, at the beginning of the 1920s. In the world of painting, this discovery was an event, because at the time only a few works by this brilliant artist were known, who returned from the 1914-1918 war so shocked by the fighting that he never touched his brushes again. On this canvas, which seems to be his last, he left an inscription: "Joseph Gaignault is not a painter." Is this a message of denial? Or a surrealist provocation? In Swing, we swing between Europe and America in these years of the great massacre: jazz entered Montmartre, Picabia exhibited in New York, Caruso sang in San Francisco, a slave's son from Alabama became a fighter pilot in the skies of France, Jack Johnson entered History as the first black world champion boxer...
