Exhibition at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de paume, Paris, 11 July -29 October 2000
The work of Gaston Chaissac (1910-1964) appears, in its desire for popular primitivism, as a questioning of the status of art and culture. It was hailed by Jean Paulhan, Raymond Queneau and Georg Baselitz.
This catalogue of the Chaissac exhibition presents salvaged objects - old cans, brooms, wicker baskets - totems and monumental collages of wallpaper.
