GALLERY ART AND MISS

 

 

Michel Narbonne, visual painter, archaeo-surrealist. By this strange designation, he asserts his affiliation with the surrealist movement which opened the doors to all contemporary art of the 20th century.

Marketing has overused the images of Dali and Magritte. So-called modern art subsequently thought it could throw the principle of surrealism into the dustbin of history. But this movement, in comics, cartoons, advertising and cinema,  is more present than ever. Calmly therefore, Michel Narbonne pursues this path and allows himself figurative, abstract, collage, or the construction of unusual objects. At the same time, he publishes texts in short format and in the same spirit: Entre les mots, entre l'éveil; At the time of pastiche; Love in fifty lessons...

​

Michel Narbonne is professor of anthropology and history of religions at ESCE-Paris.
He is also a visual artist and writer.
He has published a "Course in the history of religions" and, with Josée Rodrigo, a "Course in the history of the arts" (Vuibert, 2007) and more recently "Zoological philosophy, another history of humanity" (Scup, 2015) as well as an introduction to human sciences (Bréal 2018 - 4 volumes).

" Art,
our daily bread

The last century opened the doors; each of us can venture there, according to his identity, his mood, his anxieties and his pleasure. Some will only open one door; for my part, several schools, techniques and movements can simultaneously beckon me, over the course of my own journey in the imagination and in forms.
Thus, I have distributed my work into four sections; but this distribution is purely conventional; it is random: surrealism, pop, travel, abstraction”.
