Description: This book presents a set of fifty portraits of Jacques Villeglé conducted between 1985 and 2013, twenty-eight years during which the photographer has followed this internationally acclaimed artist. He actively contributed to the establishment of the group "New Realists" an avant-garde movement founded in 1960, which advocates a return to reality and the use of found objects in the creative process (assembly, accumulation, laceration). It emphasizes the "collective realities"; makes urban and historical evidence of original modern society. In this book, François Poivret uncovers a chronological emergence of the works of Jacques Villeglé through his meetings. He shows Jacques Villeglé's wanderings in Rome, Istanbul, New York, San Francisco, but also in Paris, Saint Malo...
Notes: Published in conjunction with exhibitions held at Galerie de l'artothèque and Musée du château, Vitré, June 7 - September 30, 2013.
