Jean Helion (1904–1987) is a fascinating artist from many points of view. An architectural draftsman soon converted to abstract painting, he became a leading member of the international Abstraction-Creation group in the early 1930's. After the death of his close friend Theo van Doesburg, he took abstraction to New York, where he lived on and off from 1932 to 1946, and to Britain, especially in the years 1933–37 when many avant-garde artists took refuge there.

Book Description\nOuvrage publié à l'occasion de l'exposition organisée par la Fondation Dina Vierny-Musée Maillol, Paris, du 17 avril au 17 août 2009.\nFrom the Back Cover\nNé en 1957, George Condo s'inspire librement de l'histoire de la peinture occidentale qui l'a précédé. Après avoir travaillé auprès d'Andy Warhol à la Factory, il va s'imposer comme l'un des artistes majeurs de la génération où émergent aussi Jean-Michel Basquiat et Keith Haring. Proche de la scène new-yorkaise, il collabore avec l'écrivain William Burroughs et le poète Allan Ginsberg dans le cadre d'un film, le Condo Painting de John McNaughton. Il vit et travaille entre New York et Paris, où il séjourne fréquemment. Enfant du Pop Art, Condo qualifie son art de "réalisme artificiel" et cherche à offrir une reproduction crédible d'un monde factice. Il a, ainsi, emprunté à l'univers des dessins animés le personnage fétiche de Big Red, mais... traité comme un Rembrandt !

George Condo's unconventional paintings are illuminated in context with his vast range of artistic influences--from Tiepolo to Picasso to Basquiat, and from psychedelic to new wave. George Condo is renowned for his eclectic mix of artistic influences--from the Old Masters to cubism to pop art. The artist who coined the term "artificial realism" blends imagery and styles from various movements in works that critique contemporary Western culture and its excesses. His paintings and sculptures feature Humanoids--figures that are metaphors of our humanity, magnifying our emotions and revealing our high and low points. For the first time in his own words, Condo reveals the genesis and significance of his distorted creations and unveils previously unseen paintings created during the pandemic and the political turmoil in the United States. Didier Ottinger examines the career, influences, and works of this unconventional artist who is at once rewriting the history of art and caricaturing the immoderation of the modern world. An exhibition of Condo's Humanoids at the Nouveau Musée National de Monaco opens nearly a quarter century after he created set and costume designs for Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo.
