Armand Pier Fernandez, born in Nice in 1928, painter and Sculptor COMMONLY CALLED Arman, is a successful artist whose artistic career has developed from painting to sculpture. At first, Arman painted works on canvas using an abstract technique. Subsequently, the artist devoted himself to creating accumulations of disused objects such as shoes, watches and tubes of distemper, thus giving a definitive turn to his artistic career. The artist has indeed made everyday objects the protagonists of his art: Arman's passion for sculpture translates into the creation of striking works. A recurring favorite subject for the artist Arman is the violin and musical instruments of all kinds, dissected and broken down and enriched with a layer of golden patina. Died in New York in 2005, Fernandez Arman is also remembered as one of the first artists to join the New Realism art movement. With him, other artists like Yves Klein, Raymond Hains, Jacques Villeglé, Jean Tinguely and François Dufrêne participated in this movement. In the following paragraphs, an overview of the development of the artistic career of the painter-sculptor Arman will be presented through his most characteristic works, such as the accumulations and the violins.
