Martial Raysse, one of the main exponents of Nouveau Réalisme, was born in 1936 in Golf Juan, France, the son of a ceramic artist. In 1957 Martial Raysse had his first solo exhibition.
Around 1959/60 Martial Raysse dealt intensively with assemblages and became a co-founder of the "Nouveaux Réalistes" around artists such as Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, Daniel Spoerri and Niki de Saint Phalle. Martial Raysse also approached pop art more and more in the years to come. Using the screen printing technique, for example, he enlarges photos from magazines or old master paintings, which he then alienates and reworks. Through numerous exhibitions in the USA and his contacts to Pop Art, he processes numerous suggestions into his artistic work.
Martial Raysse, undisputedly one of the greats of French post-war art, was able to carry out important public commissions on several occasions, for example in 1980 two fountains in Nîmes. The renowned Center Georges Pompidou in Paris is showing an exhibition of his works. Martial Raysse lives and works in Issignac. His works constantly achieve new record surcharges in auctions.
