Description
This publication is an exhibition catalog dedicated to Lettrist artist Gérard‑Philippe Broutin, published on the occasion of his exhibition Le Désir Retrouvé presented at Galleria Peccolo in Livorno in 2006. It contains critical and analytical texts by Sandro Ricaldone and Jim Palette, as well as contributions by Isidore Isou, accompanied by reproductions of Broutin's works (paintings, collages, pictoprose works) reflecting his Lettrist and hypergraphic artistic practice.
"Among those who explored a new facet of Lettrist 'metaprosa,' in the sense of 'individualization of writing,' revolutionizing the page through 'not only pictoprosa, but also collaprosa (collage art), fotoprosa, colorprosa (multichromatism),' Gérard-Philippe Broutin proved to be one of the most insightful authors, endowed with a light and precise dynamism that allowed him to constantly rework and refine his contribution."
