Alechinsky always attacking – the free

After his participation. Similarly, unique and exemplary, in an exhibition around the Orient which, in Brussels, in the Boghossian Foundation, made florès beyond all hope, Alechinsky returns, a third time, in this Pierre-André Benoît museum which, it seems, goes like a glove. However, A story of friendship. Consequently, no doubt, but also a bond that allows him to explore, striking examples, a large part of a work whose towers and detours were always the result of a creator concerned for experiences, discoveries and good luck of the day.

Trained. Moreover, in the Cambre, in Brussels, in illustration and the art of the book, Alechinsky was hardly asked to add, here and there, new pieces of conviction in his great art of doing only in his head by varying all the pleasures. Furthermore, The proof once again according alechinsky always attacking – free to a sampling which reviews its prodigious volubility through its ages.

If the twenty-five works committed in tandem with the poet elected to the place are obviously the game. Nevertheless, the surplus does not give way, which diversifies with ease a targeted course between 1957 and its most recent years of creation.

Books poetry

No sooner had he emigrated to Paris, the city of the arts and artists, that, very young creator, Pierre Alechinsky had the immense talent to prove to be wick with many of the best poets and writers brought up by the Light City.

Enamel in shortcut of the impressive Florilège who. last summer, brings together his work on paper in the castle of Chaumont-sur-Loire, the best of the painter-designer Alechinsky, always anxious to animate his Cobra flame, is found in Alès. That is to say if summer ignites, for the moment without danger in the house.

In addition to this batch of treasures. the exhibition is accompanied by a work, “Alechinsky on paper”, which is nothing more. Seti Gallimard. alechinsky always attacking – free he condenses, at the cost of a layout orchestrated with the follower of “everything for the best”, the jackpot together, black and white or color pages arguing there moments of communion with a life that was never stingy in generosity and generosity.

Besides. regardless of the tiredness of the great age, Alechinsky also posed his paw of public health writer according to a text which can be read as the endless joust novel so that victory is.

Let us add. to perfect the portrait of a demonstration with several voices and hands, the text of the writer and poet Yves Peyré. A text dazzled by the artist’s faconde to have surpassed himself so much. more, his illustrated sheets no longer counting.

This is how Peyré, attentive connoisseur, written: “Absolutely painter painter, Alechinsky illustrates and envelops many books. Always with brilliance and devotion, with no alechinsky always attacking – free less a contribution that could not be more personal. He continuously seizes the book and at each resumption of finding a justification both plastic and properly bookish. He monopolizes the various possible forms with equal happiness.” And Peyré to add: “He excels there. Additionally, he is one of the most remarkable creators of modern times on this front too. Whether by large books or more modest, he is committed.”

Books or creative sheets, all Alechinsky turns on us as soon as he spreads his vagabond brush on paper. As soon as his jubilant gesture crunches the unexpected and erects it in fact of the day. From then on that he entrusts his papers with a nobility of heart and spirit. Everything Alechinsky amazes by marveling himself.
