I was in a gallery show with Jacques Villegle at the Stephen Cohen Gallery.
While he was visiting Los Angeles from Paris I took him out in the streets to create art with me. I gave him a box cutter knife and had him cut up plastered wall posters and when he was finished he gave me the thumbs up and I photographed what he had created.
Jacques Villeglé, born Jacques Mahé de la Villeglé (born 27 March 1926, Quimper, Brittany) is a French mixed-media artist and affichiste famous for his alphabet with symbolic letters and decollage with ripped or lacerated posters. He is a member of the Nouveau Réalisme art group (1960–1970).
