Nous présentons ici une Å“uvre qui saisit l'esprit du mondialisme après-guerre et révèle l'approche nuancée et critique que Rancillac a adoptée tout au long de sa carrière. La série de huit toiles intitulée La Parole 4 l'Évangile selon Mao (1967) représente une foule compacte de visages réjouis et de bras tendus en signe de salutation, rendue à traits vifs et en rouge selon la technique du pochoir, qui évoque la propagande et l'imagerie des régimes socialistes de la période, et la subversion des tropes du Pop Art qui est largement associée aux peintures d'Andy Warhol et de Roy Lichtenstein.Rancillac est un artiste dont les Å“uvres figurent dans les collections des plus grands musées mondiaux, y compris le MoMA, New York ; le Musée d'art contemporain de Barcelone (MACBA) ; et le Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris ; l'importance de son travail a fait l'objet d'une reconnaissance constante depuis sa participation à l'exposition révolutionnaire The World Goes Pop à la Tate Modern en 2015, qui a ensuite été présentée au Walker Centre, Minneapolis. Rancillac a occupé une place centrale dans cette exposition qui ambitionnait de reconstituer et d'étendre l'histoire du Pop Art, traditionnellement considéré comme un phénomène purement anglo-américain. Il a affirmé, ce faisant, une présence avant-gardiste dans ces mutations profondes de la culture mondiale, et s'est imposé comme une figure majeure de l'art des années 1960.La Parole 4 l'Evangile selon Mao est une Å“uvre de qualité muséale, qui témoigne indéniablement de son époque : une image de la Chine de Mao un an après la Révolution culturelle de 1966, peinte un an avant que Rancillac ne participe personnellement aux événements de mai 1968, en prenant le contrôle des ateliers de lithographie de l'École des beaux-arts pour former l'Atelier Populaire. Chez Rancillac, les motifs artistiques et politiques sont alignés et occupent une large place dans son Å“uvre. L'ampleur et l'impact de cette grande Å“uvre impressionnante sont indéniables, et évoquent une énergie et une confiance intellectuelle dont l'observation est captivante. Peinte en utilisant un projecteur – selon un système qui a été mis au point pour la première fois par Illeana Sonnabend pour l'artiste français Daniel Pommereulle, puis introduit auprès des artistes du groupe Figuration narrative en 1964 – l'image photographique est transposée et reconstituée. Rancillac, en imitant les sérigraphies reproductibles de Warhol, mais en créant des Å“uvres délicatement peintes à la main et uniques, a réalisé une synthèse esthétique qui a constitué une critique des techniques autonomes du Pop Art tout en maintenant sa propre exigence politique.L'iconographie et les pochoirs des Å“uvres de protestation – dont les successeurs historiques incluent des artistes comme Christopher Wool et Banksy – recèlent une puissance artistique rarement vue dans la peinture traditionnelle. Rancillac est indubitablement l'un des artistes les plus importants et influents qui ont su capter l'énergie politique d'une décennie, et cette énergie est palpable et puissante dans La Parole 4 l'Evangile selon Mao. Sont également présentées à la vente des peintures de Rancillac de la série Cinémonde reconnaissables au premier regard – un épisode de sa carrière au cours duquel il a reproduit des photos publicitaires des starlettes hollywoodiennes les plus célèbres du vingtième siècle. Selon le co-curateur de l'exposition Mythologies Quotidiennes, véritable visionnaire, cette vente donne une occasion unique d'acquérir des Å“uvres importantes, emblématiques de l'apogée de l'illustre carrière de Rancillac.A leader of a generation and one of the founding members of the Figuration Narrative, Bernard Rancillac is an icon of European Pop Art, whose legacy is inseparable from the broader cultural history of the twentieth century. Presented here is a work that captures the spirit of post-war globalism and reveals the nuanced, critical approach that Rancillac pursued in his work. Executed over eight canvases, La Parole 4 l'Evangile selon Mao (1967) depicts a raucous crowd of cheering faces and arms in salutation, rendered in a typically sharp, red stencil that evokes the propaganda and imagery of the socialist regimes of the period, as well as a subversion of the tropes of Pop Art that is most widely associated with the paintings of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. An artist whose work resides in global museum collections inlcuding the MoMA, New York; the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA); and the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris, Rancillac's significance has seen ongoing appreciation since his inclusion in the ground-breaking exhibition The World Goes Pop at the Tate Modern in 2015, travelling to the Walker Centre, Minneapolis, subsequently. Taking centre stage in a show that sought to reconstitute and expand the history of Pop Art that has traditionally been seen as a British-American phenomena, Rancillac stands as a trailblazing presence who engaged deeply with global cultural shifts and emerged a prominent voice of the 1960s. La Parole 4 l'Evangile selon Mao is an institutional-quality piece that is unquestionably of its moment: an image of Mao's China one year after the Cultural Revolution of 1966, painted one year before Rancillac himself would participate in the events of May 1968, taking over the lithography studios of the École des beaux-arts to form the Atelier Populaire. In Rancillac, artistic and political motives are aligned and writ large. In this grand and impressive work, its scale and impact are undeniable, and evoke an energy and intellectual confidence that are captivating to observe. Painted using a projector – a device that was first procured for the French artist Daniel Pommereulle by Illeana Sonnabend, that then was introduced to the artists of the Figuration Narrative group in 1964 – the photographic image is transposed and reconstituted. Both mimicking the reproducible silkscreens of Warhol, but remaining fastidiously hand-painted and unique, R... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
