Shooting colours (2004) Painting by Arman

Arman or Armand Fernandez, born November 17, 1928 in Nice and died October 22, 2005 in New York, is a French artist, painter, sculptor and visual artist classified among the New Realists, a group that he founded with César in particular. Arman first studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Nice where he met Yves Klein, then at the École du Louvre. He is interested in the status of the object and the relationship that modern societies have with it, between sacralization and consumption. His "accumulations" of objects, following a quantitative logic which erases their singularity, reflect an image of profusion , at the same time as they underline the perishable nature of the products of the society of abundance. While the destruction that is present in his works takes the form of anger, cutting or burning. The artist has also taken over the public spaces of nearly a hundred cities around the world by creating monumental works.
