Arman - Paris, France - Occupational/Hobby Grave Stones on Waymarking.com

[FR]
Un célèbre artiste français, la pierre tombale de Arman comprend un violoncelle. Plus précisément, Arman a axé son travail sur la sculpture et la peinture. Selon www.theartstory.org/artist-arman.htm:

Arman est le plus associé avec le mouvement Nouveau Réaliste (Nouveaux Réalistes) qui a émergé en 1960, et qui représente la réponse de la France à la tendance du Pop Art qui balayait l'Europe et les États-Unis. Arman avait d'abord apparu comme un peintre abstrait lyrique, mais bientôt il a rejeté le style et a commencé à faire sculpture inspirée par le concept du ready-made. Le travail le plus remarquable d'Arman était préoccupé par les conséquences de la production de masse: ses Accumulations souvent réfléchi sur le caractère identique des objets modernes; son Poubelles, ou «poubelles», considéré comme le déchet qui résulte lorsque ces objets sont jetés; et ses Coleres, ou «rage», ont exprimé une rage presque irrationnelle des objets qui, dans les temps modernes, a menacé de dominer la vie de tous les jours. À son meilleur, Arman a prononcé un rejet puissant et effrayant de la modernisation et de la culture de la consommation de masse. Plus tard, il a développé une esthétique fondée sur l'acte de destruction, ses pièces commémorant l'effacement des objets de diverses manières.

A famous French artist, Arman's gravestone includes a cello. More specifically, Arman focused his work on sculpture and painting. According to www.theartstory.org/artist-arman.htm:

Arman is most associated with the Nouveau Realiste (New Realist) movement that emerged in 1960, and which represented France's response to the trend of Pop art that was sweeping Europe and the United States. Arman had first emerged as a lyrical abstract painter, but he soon rejected the style and began making sculpture inspired by the concept of the readymade. Arman's most notable work was preoccupied with the consequences of mass production: his Accumulations often reflected on the identical character of modern objects; his Poubelles, or "trash cans," considered the waste that results when these objects are discarded; and his Coleres, or "rages," expressed an almost irrational rage at objects that, in modern times, threatened to dominate everyday life. At his best, Arman delivered a powerful and chilling rejection of modernization and the culture of mass consumption. Later, he developed an aesthetic based on the act of destruction, his pieces commemorating the obliteration objects in various ways.
