2Nd Collage Orig Sign Jacques Barbier Abstract Taste Debré Marfaing Dorny 1980

Exit therefore the one who had awakened the interest around exciting creators such as Martin Barré, Pincemin, Boileau or Macréau, and detected the certain talent of unknowns of the time, such as Ogorzelec, Como or… Guy Resse, another strange character, art dealer (Galerie La Roue) and, himself, a collage artist! "The modesty of the means implemented suits me: pair of scissors, glue, corner of a table. Ease and speed of execution": like Coppel, Shanon or Karskaya, three other artists he presented, Barbier finds in collage a poetic, playful and fetishistic means of recycling the dross of the world, of metamorphosing them into sensual, shimmering and provocative images. Tickets, labels, packaging, drafts, all cut or torn before being glued or stapled, were at the origin of his first creations.
