------------------ transport recommends offered ------------------------ he married in 1944, the ceramist marcelle Baumann whom he frequented with "arts deco". They have in common the frank-county, since the latter is one of the daughters of walter Baumann, director of the colombier-fontaine chairwork. Jean's parents then lived valentigney, his father being employed in the pulgeot cycles of beaulieu-mandeur, close to the family cradle of the messager which is the village of mathay. It is thanks to his mother's family, native of arrogance and resident betting, in which he is born, that he travels the capital very young with his grandfather, insurance agent, but especially amateur photographer.

The latter teaches him to watch - for endless time - will confide jeans in his diary. It is he who takes him to see the guignol shows presented in the Parisian squares. From this period will be born the passion of jeans for puppets that he will collect all his life and his desire to bring art to the street. This aspect does not leave him. For him, an artist has to be a social actor, a "guiler" to take up this neologism entrusted to a journalist of the newspaper the cross.

For this purpose, Jean messager became the organiser of monumental festivals, like the inauguration of his mill of lougres, his main home since 1962. The Messager and Baumann families are surrounded by national officials, artists who come from betting, the most well-known galerists (a football match artists - painting merchants is part of the festivities), local officials but also the workers who built the house, of the entire population of the villages of lougres and colombier-fontaine that Jean invited.
