Bernard Rancillac Chaise Longue mod. Elephant
-
Description
Bernard Rancillac was a French painter and sculptor.
He did not follow a classical path to become an artist, while working as a teacher, he took printmaking courses.
After abandoning abstract painting in 1962, he became one of the leaders of Narrative Figuration, a movement that is characterized by a return to the subject, a painting of everyday life or current events, which highlights the socio-cultural issues of the time.
He thus draws a critical portrait of his time, depicting the Vietnam War, decolonization and poverty in developing countries.
News will be the breeding ground for Bernard Rancillac's painting.
In the years 1965-1966, Rancillac discovered jazz, to best transcribe the spirit of the moment, African American culture and the night world, he chose to work from photographic documents, rather than sketches.
Here we have the chaise longue mod. Elephant, metal and molded and lacquered polyester resin structure, designed in 1966 and produced by Michel Roudillon in 1980 circa.
Engraved industrial signature, copy numbered 28/100.
