The collections of the Musée des Beaux-Arts Dole, and the Musée d'Art Moderne Saint-Etienne, include major works by the French artist Bernard Rancillac, born in 1931. From March to December 2003 in collaboration with the Musée de l'Hospice Saint-Roch Issoudun these museums are holding a major retrospective on this significant figure in Narrative Figuration. In the economic and political context of the 1960s, Narrative Figuration marked the renewal of figurative art that was both critical and committed. Art became political, an instrument of communication rather than an object of contemplation, and legibility was the keyword. Consumerism was virulently attacked. From 1966 on Rancillac used photographs and images as the starting point for his work. He drew on his everyday life and current events to create tonic figurative paintings, with vivid colours and effective graphics. The monographic catalogue on Bernard Rancillac focuses on the pivotal series in which the artist's favourite themes are diffracted, comics, anger, jazz, the conventions of painting, mediatised images, sport, Algeria, women..

A new kind of figurative art appeared during the 1960s in Europe and the United States. While in New York pop art offered a fresh perspective on an America in the throes of frenzied change, in Paris French painters and others from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Iceland also began exploiting images that had their origins in advertising, cinema and the popular press. Grouped under the umbrella term Narrative Figuration, they soon became the uncompromising critics of what was dubbed the consumer society. They were for the most part politically committed artists and many of them were actively involved in the political agitation that led up to the events of May 1968 in France. Once standard bearers, the Narrative Figuration artists have now been rediscovered by museums, which, like the Centre Pompidou, are dedicating increasing numbers of exhibitions to their work. Thanks to the acquisition of major works, the collection of the Fondation Gandur pour l'Art in Geneva now provides what is without doubt one of the most exhaustive selections of works by Adami, Aillaud, Arroyo, Erró, Fromanger, Jacquet, Klasen, Monory, Rancillac, Schlosser, Stämpfli, Télémaque and Voss, to name a few.

La figuration narrative n'a jamais été un mouvement proclamé comme tel. Elle nait de l'action du critique d'art Gérald Gassiot-Talabot et des peintres Bernard Rancillac et Hervé Télémaque qui, en juillet 1964, organisent ensemble au musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris l'exposition « Mythologies quotidiennes ». Au moment même où le Pop Art triomphe à la Biennale de Venise (le Grand Prix de peinture est attribué en juin 1964 à Robert Rauschenberg) et s'impose en Europe, l'exposition « Mythologies quotidiennes » réunit des artistes qui, à l'instar de leurs homologues américains, placent la société contemporaine et ses images au cœur de leurs œuvres. Parmi eux, on compte Arroyo, Bertholo, Bertini, Fahlström, Klasen, Monory, Rancillac, Recalcati, Saul, Télémaque, Voss… Quelques mois plus tard, le Salon de la jeune peinture est bouleversé par l'arrivée en force de jeunes peintres (Arroyo, Aillaud, Cueco….) qui se fixent comme objectif de faire à nouveau de l'art un outil de transformation sociale. Force attractive, la figuration narrative rassemble ainsi, au cours des années soixante, des peintres venus d'horizons esthétiques ou géographiques différents. Adami, Erró, Fromanger, Stämpfli se joignent aux promoteurs de « Mythologies quotidiennes ». Travaillant à partir de l'image photographique ou cinématographique, de l'imagerie publicitaire, de la bande dessinée ou même de la peinture classique, ils aboutissent à des œuvres qui détournent la signification première de ces représentations pour en révéler des sens inattendus, suggérer d'autres narrations, montrer leurs implications politiques. Au cours de ces années, la figuration narrative se démarque de la neutralité sociale de l'Ecole de Paris aussi bien que du formalisme du Pop Art américain. Elle dénonce les aliénations de la vie contemporaine. L'effervescence de la fin des années soixante favorisera d'ailleurs l'engagement des plus militants parmi les peintres de ce mouvement dans la vie politique, et particulièrement dans les événements de mai 68 à Paris. Regroupant plus de cent peintures, objets ou films, l'exposition « Figuration narrative. Paris, 1960-1972 » est conçue comme une exploration des sources parisiennes du renouveau figuratif qui marque l'histoire de l'art des années soixante. (quatrième de couverture)
