The famous Greek sculpture, Winged Victory has been an icon of the Musée de Louvre since the early 19th century. The French sculptor Arman created an assemblage in bronze with a miniature winged Victory and a deconstructed violin. The idea of combining two disparate objects is both an homage to Surrealism, and a nod to the artist’s father, who was an antique dealer and an amateur cellist.
Arman (American/French 1928-2005)
Born Arman Pierre Fernandez in nice, Arman studied at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs and the Ecole du Louvre. In the early 1960s, he signed the Nouveau réalisme manifesto with Yves Klein, Martial Raysse and Jean Tinguely, seeking to merge art and ordinary life, advocating a return to reality in opposition to the lyricism of abstract painting. Inspired by Duchamp’s readymades, Arman is best known for his pursuit of creation through destruction, creating sculptures through the slicing, smashing or burning of singular objects – often musical instruments – then reassembling them. His works can be found in the collections of major museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
