Carrefour Politique / Villegle, Jacques ; Hains R ; Dufrene F ; Rotella M., 1997

 Item
Identifier: CC-35853-37614
Scope and Contents Villegle describes his philosophy and technique of first using posters during the post war years from the walls of Paris. He writes that "instead of attending an art school or going to the Louvre to study the riddles that masterpieces sometimes reveal, instead of meditation in the closed world of the traditional painter's studio, I would go out and come across the unexpected surprise, the plastic adventure awaiting me at a street corner...I was attracted to the mural imagery of advertising and propaganda and tore it down only when it could escape from the aggression of politics and finance, when the entangled and curtailed representations had been abruptly metamorphosed, when the rallying cries and slogans, cut short or not, were superimposed in a typographical landscape. Then, diverted from its peremptory, manipulative and utilitarian purpose, imagery and its comments would lead to other games and puns, to poetic illegibility at the crossroads of words." -- Source of annotation:...
