A new kind of figurative art appeared during the 1960s in Europe and the United States. This catalogue includes all its key works, with commentary and analysis by curators and art historians specialising in a movement that left an indelible mark on 1960s Europe.
This book celebrates Narrative Figuration, an art movement that arose in France in 1964 in the context of the Paris exhibition MythologiesQuotidiennes (Daily Mythologies), organized by the artists Bernard Rancillac and Hervé Télémaque, and critic Gérald Gassiot-Talabot. Some 34 artists participated with the goal of challenging modern Pop Art aesthetics, and propagating changes in society. Elements from English and American Pop Art were mixed with images from advertising, comics, film, and photography, and images from earlier eras of art history were integrated into new and surprising contexts. Among the artists who participated were Eduardo Arroyo, Ren. Bertholo, Gianni Bertini, Öyvind Fahlström, Peter Klasen, Jacques Monory, Antonio Recalcati, Jan Voss, and others. Narrative Figuration continued through the 1970s with members such as Valerio Adami, Gilles Aillaud, Henri Cueco, Erró, Gérard Fromanger, and Peter Stämpfli. Today there is renewed interest in this movement.
