Lefort, Marie-JosÃ, Konstantina Minou: Jean Fautrier. Critical Catalogue of Paintings. Paris: 2023. 628 pages, illustrated in colour throughout. Hardback. 30x25cms. First comprehensive annotated catalogue of Jean Fautrier's paintings, discussing the technique, origin, exhibition history and bibliography of each listed work. Supplemented with a detailed biography, technical analyses and transcriptions of interviews and radio broadcasts. Trained at the Royal Academy of Arts and initially influenced by Turner, Fautrier turned to abstraction in the 1940s, launching the art informel movement which branched out into Tachisme. His interaction with the intellectual figures of his time, including Jean Paulhan, Paul Ãluard, Francis Ponge, Renà Char and Andrà Malraux, resulted in politically resonant works such as his series Otages (1943-1945), Objets (1947-1948) and Partisans (1956), here presented in detail. Text in English and French.
