- Jacques Villeglé
art group (1960-1963). His work has primarily focused on the anonymous and on the marginal remains of civilization.
He first started producing art in 1947 in
Saint-Malo by collecting found objects (steel wires, bricks from Saint-Malo's Atlantic retaining war). In December 1949, he concentrated his work on ripped advertising posters from the street. Working with fellow artistRaymond Hains , Villeglé began to usecollage and found/ripped posters from street advertisements in creatingUltra-Lettrist psychogeographical hypergraphics in the 1950s, and in June 1953, he published "Hepérile Éclaté", a phonetic poem by Camille Bryen, which was made unreadable when read through strips of grooved glass made by Hains. In February 1954, Villeglé and Hains met theLettrism poetFrançois Dufrêne , and this latter introduced them toYves Klein ,Pierre Restany andJean Tinguely . In 1958, Villeglé published an overview of his work on ripped posters, "Des Réalités collectives", which is to a certain degree a prefiguration of the manifesto of the New Realism group (1960) which he joined at its inception.External links
