This is a poster mounted to board. Signed in the plate. Jean Tinguely (22 May 1925 – 30 August 1991) was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, in the Dada tradition; known officially as metamechanics. Tinguely's art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society. Born in Fribourg, Tinguely grew up in Basel, studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basle from 1941 to 1945, a period during which he discovered the art of Kurt Schwitters and Paul Klee as well as becoming an enthusiastic fan of the Bauhaus., but moved to France in 1952 with his first wife Swiss artist Eva Aeppli, to pursue a career in art. He began experimenting with mechanical machine-like sculptures in the late 1930s, hanging objects from the ceiling and using an electric motor to make them spin. He moved to Paris in 1951, where he participated in Robert Rauschenberg's international happenings After World War II he began painting in a Surrealist manner, but he soon abandoned painting to concentrate on sculpture. In 1960 Tinguely's friendship with Arman, César, Raymond Hains, Yves Klein and other artists, and the art critic Pierre Restany (b 1930), led to the founding of Nouveau Réalisme, which aimed at a reassessment of artistic form and material. He belonged to the Parisian Avant Garde in the mid-twentieth century and was one of the artists who signed the New Realist's manifesto (Nouveau réalisme) in 1960. affiche plakat poster. His best-known work, a self-destroying sculpture titled Homage to New York (1960), only partially self-destructed at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, although his later work, Study for an End of the World No. 2 (1962), detonated successfully in front of an audience gathered in the desert outside Las Vegas. The first exhibitions organised by Denise René were in June 1945. She studied geometric abstraction and kinetic art. René showed modern art masters such as Max Ernst and Francis Picabia during her first five years of activity. Denise René developed different generations of abstract art by introducing to Paris the historical figures of the concrete avant-gardes of Eastern Europe while seeking historical antecedents like Marcel Duchamp. In 1955 she organized the exhibition Le Mouvement, which helped to popularize kinetic art. Following that show she exhibited works by Nicolas Schöffer, Yacov Agam, Jean Tinguely, Otto Piene, Jean Arp, Alexander Calder, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jesús Rafael Soto, Victor Vasarely, Marino Di Teana, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Gregorio Vardanega...
