Text in French. Born in 1925 in Friborg, died in Bern in 1991, Jean Tinguely is the most provocative and most poetic of the Nouveaux Réalistes. "Tinguely," writes Conil Lacoste, "invented neither the rehabilitation of scrap nor sculpture in motion ... His originality is to have brought these two currents together." His approach is in line with those of Schwitters, Arp, Calder and Duchamp, and he was none the less one of the great original creators of the twentieth century. This monograph by Lacoste was written in close collaboration with the artist, whose work Lacoste was among the first in France to acknowledge.
