Arman. 1955-1974 (E)

Arman was a US-naturalised French painter. He is recognised internationally as being one of the leading artists of the second half of the 20th century and one of the main figures of the French artistic current of Nouveau Réalisme. This book covers the first twenty years of Arman's artistic production, from the Accumulations of industrial objects and series products to the Poubelles, documenting consumer society's waste; from the famous Colères, Coupes and Combustions, which through different processes dematerialize objects depriving them of their functionality, to paintings, to actions and monumental works adhering to the "poetic of things".
