From the "Méchant-Méchant" album
On Arches Paper
A self-taught, multidisciplinary artist, Niki de Saint-Phalle creates a world recognizable at first glance. She is best known for her Nanas, monumental sculptures of disproportionately shaped women, which she designed to be displayed in public spaces for all to see. The artist attaches great importance to the beneficial potential of art, which takes on an almost therapeutic dimension for her: "My passion is to bring some moments of joy to others through my art".
In this lithograph, the artist addresses the children. She uses one of the illustrations created the same year for the book "Méchant Méchant", in collaboration with the author Laurent Condominas. It is a story about triumphant friendship, where children help each other to recover their toys stolen by a monster. By its graphic form and its colors, we can easily approach its style of art made by children, which reinforces the impact it can have with them.
In this scene of everyday life, teachers, children and a police officer rub shoulders with animals and plants in an abundance of globular shapes and acidic colors typical of the artist's work. The movement of the characters and the richness of detail make this work a true recreation for the mind.

Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle’s art is eclectic and complicated, brave and outspoken. It reveals the unbridled ruminations and opinions of her multifaceted past and transforms them into celebrations of love, life and pure happiness. This transformation reminds us that her work does not simply stand alone, it becomes part of a larger dialogue she created for us to enjoy.
A self-taught sculptor, painter and filmmaker, Saint Phalle made a mark on art history that continues to have an extraordinary dimension. Her work is represented in numerous museums and public collections around the world. In 2000, she received the Praemium Imperiale in Japan, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for the art world. In 2014, the Grand Palais in Paris exhibited a major restropective of her work that traveled to the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, where it currently resides. Saint Phalle died at the age of 71 in La Jolla, California, in 2002.
