The catalog Paris à l'arraché - Jacques Villeglé et l'art urbain invites you to discover the work of an artist who has transformed the capital's torn posters into a unique visual language. Upon his arrival in Paris in 1949, Villeglé made the city his workshop. For more than fifty years, he surveyed the iconic neighborhoods like Montparnasse and Les Halles. He takes posters that reveal the poetry and materiality of the Parisian streets, while documenting the political and social upheavals of France.
The catalogue also opens a reflection on Villeglé's legacy in contemporary urban art.
An essential work to understand how Jacques Villeglé, archivist of Paris, captured the soul of Paris and laid the foundations of modern urban art.
