Yvon Taillandier
Fantastical universe of Yvon Taillandier - Vive Bozo Bek et ses amis

1971

About the Item

Step into the fantastical universe of Yvon Taillandier with Vive Bozo Bek et ses amis, a jubilant ode to imagination and camaraderie. As a central figure in the post-war French avant-garde and a long-time contributor to the Salon de Mai, Taillandier developed a unique visual language known as the “Taillandier System” — a realm of recurring characters, invented words, and symbolic narratives. This piece is emblematic of his vivid, joyously narrative style, featuring his recurring protagonist Bozo Bek surrounded by his motley crew of whimsical companions. The work radiates Taillandier’s characteristic sense of color, movement, and optimism. It’s a celebration of friendship, fantasy, and the boundless possibilities of art when freed from convention. Whether you are a collector of narrative art, a lover of French postmodernism, or simply drawn to the magic of color and story, Vive Bozo Bek et ses amis offers a portal into a world where everything is possible — and playfully so.
