Jacques Villeglé, born Jacques Mahé de la Villeglé (27 March 1926 – 6 June 2022)

Nouveau Réalisme art group (1960–1970). His work is primarily focused on the anonymous and on the marginal remains of civilization. The sociologist Zygmunt Bauman has qualified him as one of the most outstanding exponents of liquid art, in his work Liquid Life, together with Herman Braun-Vega and Manolo Valdés.[2]

Biography

Villeglé first started producing art in 1947 in

hypergraphics
in the 1950s, and in June 1953, he published Hepérile Éclaté, a phonetic poem by Camille Bryen, which was made unreadable when read through strips of grooved glass made by Hains.

Posters

He built posters in which one has been placed over another or others, and the top poster or posters have been ripped, revealing to a greater or lesser degree the poster or posters underneath.

Ultra-lettrist

In February 1954, Villeglé and Hains met the

François Dufrêne, and this latter introduced them to Yves Klein, Pierre Restany, and Jean Tinguely
.

Nouveau réalisme

In 1958, Villeglé published an overview of his work on ripped posters, Des Réalités collectives, which is to a certain degree a prefiguration of the manifesto of the New Realism group (1960) which he joined at its inception.
