Yvon Taillandier
France • 1926
Presentation
Yvon Taillandier is a French painter, sculptor and writer born in 1926 in Paris.
In 1942, Yvon Taillandier exposed for the first time at the Gallery "L'art Français", in Lyon. Later on, he was committee Secretary of the "Salon de Mai" during 44 years.
Yvon Taillandier's painting is figurative, constantly narrative and creates an imaginary world with its personages and situations. Creator of "Taillandierland", the painter depicts this invented world with its habitants, its universe. Mixing image and language, Yvon Taillandier claims to be a literary painter.
From one painting to another, the shapes are modified, renew, man is often paired with machines, which are like a prolongation of himself. These curious characters have a certain timelessness.
In the 50s, Yvon Taillandier gave up painting and devoted himself to literature (art criticism, history of art). He worked then during fourteen years in the magazine "Connaissance des Arts" as well as in the magazine "xxe siècle".
