Marcel Pouget, one of the leaders of Nouvelle Figuration<\/h3>\n

Marcel Pouget was one of the leaders of the Nouvelle Figuration movement in the late 50s. He defined his specific approach as a “Psychopeintre” in 1966. <\/p>\n

A work between reality and dream<\/h3>\n

His works emanate pain and fantasies, alarms, cries of horror or hope.The work is reminiscent of the terrified face in Edvard Munch’s Scream.<\/p>\n

Biography<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Painter, poet, choreographer and filmmaker, Marcel Pouget studied and began painting at the Beaux Arts in Algiers, before moving to Paris in 1946 at the age of 23, thanks to the generosity of a group of amateurs.He made only brief appearances at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-arts in Paris, preferring to associate with the avant-garde artists of his day – those with ties to the international art movement, including Alechinsky, Appel and Lindstr\u00f6m.His paintings are described as “Abstract Expressionist”, a term rejected by Pouget, who prefers the term “New Figuration”. Back in Oran in 1947, Pouget’s style disconcerted his patrons. He returned to Paris for his first metropolitan exhibition.<\/p>\n

The painter participates in a number of individual and collective exhibitions in Parisian galleries as well as in Europe. It appears at the Salons des Ind\u00e9pendants, Autumn, May and at the Salon des R\u00e9alit\u00e9s Nouvelles.<\/p>\n

He has acquired an international reputation, and his work has been included in numerous exhibitions abroad (Stockholm, The Hague, etc.) and in France (Galerie Claude Bernard, Galerie Ariel, and in 1966, Halle Saint-Pierre in Paris in 2016, etc.). One of his most important exhibitions, Lumi\u00e8re et T\u00e9n\u00e8bres, organized by C\u00e9r\u00e8s Franco, took place in 1978 at Galerie L’\u0152il de B\u0153uf. This was followed by a retrospective exhibition in 1985. <\/p>\n

Although Marcel Pouget belongs to the expressionist movement of nouvelle figuration, he quickly found his own style. Color is at the heart of his expressionist language. His figures are framed by powerful strokes.As Jacques Busse points out, the one constant in his work is that he contributed to maintaining figuration in a period of prevailing abstraction.<\/p>\n

Solitary and tormented, Marcel Pouget died of Legionnaire’s disease on December 5, 1985.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
