ARMAN BIOGRAPHY (1928 - 2005)
specialize very much in… everything,” the French-born American artist Arman told an interviewer in 1968. “I have never been — how do you say it? A dilettante.” Regarded as one of the most prolific and inventive creators of the late 20th century, Arman’s vast artistic output ranges from drawings and prints to monumental public sculpture to his famous “accumulations” of found objects. His work—strongly influenced by Dada, and in turn a strong influence on Pop Art—is in the collections of such institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Born in Nice in 1928, Armand Pierre Fernandez showed a precocious talent for painting and drawing as a child. (Inspired by Vincent van Gogh, he signed his early work with his first name only; he retained a printer’s 1958 misspelling of his name for the rest of his career.) The son of an antiques dealer and amateur cellist, the artist absorbed an intense appreciation for music, the art of collecting and the cultivation of discriminating taste from an early age. After studies at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Nice, Arman decamped to Paris to study art history at the Ecole du Louvre. His work in these early years focused on abstract paintings inspired by the work of Nicolas de Staël. An avid reader, Arman sought inspiration through books and art reviews, as well as during frequent road trips throughout Europe with his artist friends from Nice, Claude Pascale and Yves Klein. During this period, Arman developed a passion for Eastern philosophy, early Chinese art and the martial art of judo, even working as an instructor at the Bushido Kai judo school in Spain. Additionally, he served two years as an orderly in the French military in Indochina.
Inspired by the Dadaist collages of Kurt Schwitters, Arman’s first solo show, in Paris in 1954, exhibited his “Cachets,” assemblages and accumulations of stamps and fabric that were to prove an important step in the development of his artistic vision. More consequential yet was his signing, in 1960, of the manifesto of the “Nouveau Réalisme” (New Realism) movement, with fellow artists Klein, Martial Raysse and Jean Tinguely, among others. “New Realism equals new, sensitive, perceptive approaches to the real,” asserted the document, and Arman set out on a new course, in which he would re-examine the artistic possibilities of everyday objects, elevating the banal to the aesthetic, and refuse into art.
The same year, Arman had a Landmark exhibition at the Iris Clert Gallery in Paris, “Full Up” (“Le Plein”), an audacious installation/happening that filled the entire gallery with garbage. In 1961, he unveiled yet another of the many “strategies” he would employ over his career: the “colères,” manmade objects he would smash, then reassemble and mount on wood panels. These well-known works, together with his “coupes” (“slicing”)—objects (frequently mass-produced) he would cut apart then put on display—and his “combustions”—objects he set ablaze, and whose charred remains he exhibited—represented acts of artistic creation through destruction. They exemplified the way Arman continually compelled viewers of his work to re-evaluate their ideas with respect to beauty and fine art.
namored by the artistic energy of New York in the ’60s, Arman moved into the Chelsea Hotel in 1967, and became an American citizen (adopting the official name of Armand P. Arman) in 1973. As he established himself in New York, his projects became ever more ambitious and prolific, and featured accumulations of tools, clocks, jewelry and countless other materials. He would weld hundreds of these objects together into sculpted formations, some only centimeters high, others filling entire rooms. He would encase the objects in polymer resin to form optically intriguing showcases for them. He was the first contemporary artist to receive commissions from the Renault car company; this collaboration resulted in a series of works using car parts which Arman exhibited at the 1970 World’s Fair in Osaka, Japan. He also drew intense inspiration from the sinuous shapes of string and brass instruments—and harnessed his longstanding appreciation for music—to create countless accumulations and “coupes” of cellos, violins, and trombones; these are perhaps his most widely known works.
Arman brought his techniques to bear on public, monumental sculpture as well. His “Long-Term Parking,” created in 1982 in the Parisian suburb of Jouy-en-Josas, is a 50-foot-high column of concrete that encases dozens of cars. Yet more monumental is his “Hope for Peace” (“Espoir de Paix”), commissioned in 1995 by the then Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri to stand alongside the Lebanese Army Headquarters in Beirut. Towering even higher than “Long-Term Parking,” “Hope For Peace” encases armored vehicles and tanks, whose barrels poke out through the concrete, pointing upwards.
Later in his career, Arman returned to painting. In 1989 he exhibited paintings at New York’s Vrej Baghoomian Gallery and, in 1995, he exhibited a series of paintings inspired by Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.” He produced several series of monochrome paintings, often using the paint tubes themselves on the canvases in addition to the paint they contained. In 1991, he unveiled a series of “robot-portraits” of classical composers—from Bach and Beethoven to Wagner and Arman’s contemporary Philip Glass. These large-scale works evoked their subjects through assemblages of such objects as sheet music and instruments.
Throughout his career, Arman remained passionately engaged with human rights issues important to him. For five years, he served as President of the New York Chapter of Artists for Amnesty International. In 1990, on the occasion of a major retrospective of his work that was to be the inaugural attraction at the Museum of Contemporary and Modern Art in his hometown of Nice, Arman made a major statement against religious prejudice. Only weeks before the scheduled opening, Nice hosted the convention of the Front National, a right-wing French political party whose guest of honor had been a German Neo-Nazi. The Mayor of Nice honored the F.N., and in the uproar that followed made anti-Semitic remarks. In protest, and in staying true to his convictions, Arman cancelled the retrospective, and, as a consequence, waited until 2002 for his work to be exhibited in the city of his birth. Some friends had advised Arman not to mix politics with art. He responded, “If you are not willing to mix with politics sometimes, politics may one day mix with you—whether you want it or not.” Over the course of his career, Arman had over 600 one-person shows, and was the subject major retrospective exhibitions at the Houston Museum of Fine Art, in 1991, and at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris, in 1998.
Though Arman passed away in October 2005, the efforts of his wife of 34 years, Corice Canton Arman, and of the Arman P. Arman Trust, continue to ensure that his remarkable legacy—his ability to transform and elevate, his political engagement and his incisive humanism—will continue to affect and influence the world he loved so much.
아르망 전기 (1928 – 2005)
“저는 음.. 대부분의 것을 전공했다고 봐야겠죠,” 프랑스에서 태어난 미국인 예술가인 아르망은 1968년에 한 인터뷰어에게 이렇게 대답했다. “저는 그 단어가 뭐였죠? 애호가? 였던 적은 없어요.” 20세기후반에 가장 다작하고 창의적이었던 예술가 중 한 명으로 여겨지는 아르망의 넓은 예술적 산출은 회화부터 프린트, 공공 조각, 그리고 그의 유명한 발견된 물품들 “축적” 에 이르기까지 다양하다. 다다이즘에서 많은 영향을 받고, 팝 아트에 많은 영향을 미친 그의 작품은 뉴욕 메트로폴리탄 박물관, 런던의 테이트 화랑과 파리의 퐁피두센터에 소장되어 있다.
니스에서 1928년에 태어난 아르망 피에르 페르난데즈는 어렸을 적부터 회화와 그림 그리기에 조숙한 재능을 보였다. 빈센트 반 고흐의 영향을 받아 그는 그의 초기작들을 성 없이 이름으로만 사인했고, 1958년에 한 인쇄업자가 그의 이름 철자를 잘못 프린트 한 것을 그의 커리어 내내 유지했다. 골동품 딜러와 아마추어 첼로 연주자 사이에서 태어난 그는 어린 나이부터 음악에 대한 강렬한 공감과, 수집의 미 그리고 취향의 구별을 길렀다. 니스의 Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs 에서 수학한 아르망은 곧 파리로 떠나서 Ecole du Louvre에서 미술사를 전공했다. 이 시기에 그려진 그의 초기작들은 주로 니콜라 드 스탈의 영향을 받은 추상화에 집중했다. 독서광인 그는 책과 예술 비평에서 많은 영감을 얻었으며, 또한 그의 고향 니스 출신 예술가 친구들인 끌로드 파스칼과 이브 클라인 같은 친구들과 함께 유럽 전역을 여행하며 영감을 받았다. 이 시기에 그는 동양 철학, 초기 중국 예술, 유도에 열정을 쏟았으며, 스페인의 Bushido Kai 유도 학교에서 강사로 일하기도 했다. 또한 인도 차이나 대륙에서 2년 동안 프랑스 군에서 근무하기도 했다.
쿠르트 슈비터스의 다다이즘 꼴라쥬에 영향을 받은 아르망의 첫 개인전은 1954년 파리에서 열렸으며, “Cachets (특징)” 라는 주제로 도장과 원단의 모음과 축적으로 이루어진 그의 예술적 비전의 발전 단계에서 중요한 역할을 가지는 전시였다. 이보다 더 중요한 것은 그가 1960년에 동료 예술가들인 클라인, 마르샬 레스, 장 팅겔리 등과 함께 누보 레알리슴의 (신 사실주의) 운동의 선언문에 사인을 한 것이었다. “신 사실주의는 실재에 대해 새롭고, 감각적이며, 통찰력 있는 접근을 하는 것을 뜻한다” 라고 그 문서는 주장한다. 아르망은 이에 그치지 않고, 새로운 방향성을 찾아서 일상에서의 예술적 가능성을 재검토하고, 평범함을 미적이나 예술은 아닌 것으로 만들어 내는 작업을 시작했다.
같은 해에, 아르망은 파리에서 “Full Up” (“Le Plein”) 이라는 랜드마크 전시를 파리의 이리스 클레르 갤러리에서 진행했는데, 이는 그 화랑 전체를 쓰레기로 채우는 굉장히 대담한 설치예술/해프닝 이었다. 1961년에 그는 그의 커리어 동안 사용하는 많은 “전략” 중 하나를 소개했다. “colères (분노라는 뜻의 colère의 복수형)” 는 인간이 만든 물체를 부수고, 재구성하여 나무 판넬에 거는 작업이었다. 이 유명한 작품들은 그의 다른 작품들, 이를테면 “coupes (자르기)” – 자주 대량 생산되는 물체를 자르고 전시하는 – 그리고 “combustions (불지르기)” – 물체에 불을 지르고 그 그을린 유해를 전시하는 – 과 함께 파괴를 통한 예술적 창조를 대표한다. 그 작품들은 아르망이 보는 이들로 하여금 그들의 아름다움과 순수 예술에 대한 생각을 재평가하게 하는 그 방법론의 전형적인 예시이다.
1960년대 뉴욕의 예술적 에너지에 매료된 그는, 1967년에 첼시 호텔로 이사했고 1973년 미국의 시민권자가 되었다 (그러면서 그는 Armand P. Arman 이라는 이름으로 개명하였다). 그가 뉴욕에 자리를 잡으면서, 그의 기획들은 더 야망이 넘치고 다작스럽게 변했는데, 이 과정에서 그는 다양한 도구, 시계, 보석 그리고 수 없이 많은 다른 재료들을 모으는 것을 보여주곤 했다. 그는 수백 개의 물체들을 조각된 형태로 용접해 붙이곤 했는데, 이 조각은 몇 센치밖에 안되는 작은 것들부터 방 전체를 채우는 큰 것까지 다양한 사이즈로 존재한다. 그는 고분자 수지로 된 케이스로 이 작품들을 감싸서 시각적으로 더 흥미로운 효과를 주었다. 그는 현대 예술가중에서는 최초로 르노 자동차 회사에서 위임을 받아 작업을 했는데, 이 콜라보는 아르망이 1970년 일본 오사카에서 열린 세계예술전에서 자동차 부품을 이용한 시리즈를 내놓는 결과를 냈다. 그는 또한 현악기와 금관악기의 물결 모양 형태에 영감을 받고 그의 오래 된 음악적 공감을 담아서 수많은 수집과 “coupes (자르기)” 된 첼로, 바이올린, 트롬본 등을 작업해냈는데, 이는 아마도 그의 작품 중 가장 유명한 작품들일 것이다.
아르망은 그의 기술적인 부분을 공공, 기념비적 조각상에도 적용시켰다. 그의 “Long-Term Parking (장기주차)” 는 파리 근교의 Jouy-en-Josas 라는 도시에 1982년에 설치되었으며, 15미터 정도 되는 콘크리트 기둥에 수 십개의 자동차를 박아넣은 구조이다. 더 기념비적인 것은 그의 “Hope for Peace (평화를 위하여, 원어: Espoir de Paix) 이며, 1955년 당시 레바논의 국무총리 라피크 하리리가 수도 베이루트의 레바논 군사본부 옆에 설치하게 한 작품이다. “Long-Term Parking” 보다 더 높은 “Hope for Peace”는 총구가 콘크리트 벽면을 넘어서 위를 향하는 무장한 차와 탱크를 선보였다.
그의 커리어 후반에 들어서 아르망은 회화로 돌아왔다. 1989년에 그는 뉴욕의 Vrej Baghoomian 화랑에서 전시회를 가졌으며, 1995년에는 반 고흐의 “별이 빛나는 밤”을 모티브로 한 회화 시리즈를 전시했다. 그는 여러 개의 단색화 시리즈를 그렸으며, 물감 뿐만 아니라 그 물감의 튜브까지 캔버스에 올리는 모습을 선보였다. 1991년에는 그는 클래식 작곡가들의 “robot-portraits (로봇 초상화)” 를 그렸는데, 바흐와 베토벤에서 바그너와 아르망의 동시대 작곡가인 필립 글라스까지 포함되어 있었다. 이 큰 규모의 작품들은 악보와 악기 등을 모아서 만들어졌다.
그의 커리어 내내 아르망은 그에게 중요하다고 여겨졌던 인권 운동에 열정적으로 참여했다. 5년이라는 시간 동안 그는 예술가를 위한 국제 앰네스티 뉴욕 지부 (New York Chapter of Artists for Amnesty International) 의 지부장을 맡았으며, 1990년에는 그의 작품을 회고하기 위해 그의 고향 니스의 근현대 예술 박물관에 취임하기로 계획됐던 취임식 연설문에서는 종교적 편견에 반대하는 언급을 하기도 하였다. 이 취임식이 있기 불과 몇 주 전에, 니스는 Front National 이라는 프랑스의 우파 정당의 협의회를 개최하였으며, 이 협의회의 명예 손님은 다름아닌 한 네오나치 독일인이었다. 니스의 시장은 F.N.을 존중하였으며 그에 따른 소동이 일어났을 때는 반 유태인적 발언을 서슴지 않기도 했다. 이 사건에 대한 반항으로, 그리고 자신의 신념에 진실되기 위하여 아르망은 이 회고를 취소하였으며, 그에 대한 결과로 2002년까지 자신의 고향에 자신의 작품을 걸어놓기 위해 기다려야만 했다. 몇몇 친구들은 그에게 정치와 예술을 섞지 말라고 조언하였으나, 그는 “너가 정치와 섞이는 걸 거부한다면, 어느 날 정치가 결국 와서 너와 섞일 것이다 – 너의 의사와는 상관 없이” 라고 대답하였다. 그의 커리어 내내 그는 600개가 넘는 개인전을 열었고, 주요 회고전을 1991년 휴스턴 순수예술 박물관에서, 그리고 1998년 파리의 죄드폼 국립미술관에서 열었다.
아르망은 2005년 10월에 세상을 떠났음에도 불구하고, 34년간 반려했던 Corice Canton Armon과 Arman P. Arman Trust의 노력은 꾸준히 그의 괄목할만한 유산들 – 그의 변화와 높이는 능력, 그의 정치적 업무와 그의 기민한 휴머니즘 – 을 책임지고 있으며, 이는 앞으로도 그가 사랑해 머지않았던 이 세계에 많은 영향을 끼칠 것이다.
