André Villers
abstrait noir - encre sur papier, 73x53 cm.

About the Item

Encre sur papier par l'artiste peintre et photographe, ami de Picasso. Travail très intéressant . André Villers, né en 1930 et mort en 2016 etait un artiste et photographe. En mars 1953, il rencontre ainsi Pablo Picasso qui le prend en sympathie et lui offre son premier appareil photo Rolleiflex. Il réalisera de très nombreux portraits du peintre, et leur relation évoluera même sur la réalisation d'une œuvre en commun à quatre mains de centaines d'images fondées sur l'expérimentation photographique dont 30 images seront retenues pour être publiées sous le titre Diurnes (Paris, Berggruen, 1962) accompagnées d'un texte original de Jacques Prévert. En 1970, il commence à expérimenter une nouvelle façon de faire de la photographie en créant lui-même ses négatifs à partir de morceaux de papiers calques. La série sera exposée et un livre sortira accompagné d'un texte de Michel Butor, Pliages d'Ombres. Depuis, dans son œuvre photographique personnelle fondée sur la recherche de l'ombre et de la transparence, il a cherché à exploiter de multiples possibilités d'émulsions (solarisations, jets de révélateur...).

Il est surtout connu pour les assemblages qu'il a réalisés à partir de 1968. D'origine modeste, cependant très tôt intéressé par l'art et les musées où le poussait son père, il s'essaie d'abord à la peinture. Cependant, Avril ne commence à trouver son véritable style qu'à l'âge de quarante-deux ans. Enfant, il est un habitué des musées de Lyon qu’il fréquente sur les conseils de son père. Adulte, sa passion pour la collection l’incite à se nourrir des arts premiers et d’artistes comme Gaston Chaissac...

  • Three Pyramids + Blue Ball
    By Alexander Calder
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    "Three Pyramids + Blue Ball" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right, "Calder 73”. Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting. Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...
