Bernard Rancillac Chaise Longue mod. Elephant

Bernard Rancillac was a French painter and sculptor.
He did not follow a classical path to become an artist, while working as a teacher, he took printmaking courses.
After abandoning abstract painting in 1962, he became one of the leaders of Narrative Figuration, a movement that is characterized by a return to the subject, a painting of everyday life or current events, which highlights the socio-cultural issues of the time.
He thus draws a critical portrait of his time, depicting the Vietnam War, decolonization and poverty in developing countries.
News will be the breeding ground for Bernard Rancillac's painting.
In the years 1965-1966, Rancillac discovered jazz, to best transcribe the spirit of the moment, African American culture and the night world, he chose to work from photographic documents, rather than sketches.
