Born in 1931, in Paris, France. Painter of the new realism, treated in his works the star-cult of the collective society with irony. An established French artist, Bernard Rancillac was one of the founders of the Narrative Figuration movement in 1964. He is highly interested in politics, a subject that influences his work. "Emotion is necessary in the conception of any artistic creation," he says. He uses a limited chromatic palette and geometric forms to give a strong sense of rhythm to his pieces. Rancillac began his career as a drawing teacher, and later studied print making under S.W. Hayter. In 1961 he was awarded a prize in painting at the Paris Biennale.—Lives in Paris. |   http://bernardrancillac.com/
