Biography of Yvon Taillandier
The painter-sculptor-writer-critic Yvon Taillandier is born in Paris in 1926. The painting of Yvon Taillandier is figurative and narrative; the artist creates an imaginary world with his characters and his own events. Iventor of the "Taillandierland", the artist describes this invented world with its people and its universe. Mixing image and language, Yvon Taillandier invokes a literary painting. His first solo exhibition is held in the French art gallery in Lyon in 1942. Numerous solo exhibitions are organized around his work, especially beginning the early 70s. The artist performs numerous monumental works, including murals for schools (Paris, Boulogne on the sea, Vitry, New Delhi, Ivry, etc.). In 1950, Yvon Taillandier abandons painting in favor of Literature (art criticism, art history). He works for 14 years at the "Connaissance des Arts" and "XXe siècle" reviews. Taillandier, among others, participates in studies on Giotto, Cézanne, Miró, Monet, Rodin, Bryen, Wifredo Lam and others. Yvon Taillandier goes back to drawing in 1969, and begins to "write" stories in comics, he invents a new art critic combining pastiche and text, decorates and paints on all types of media. Note that from 1949, Yvon Taillandier becomes secretary of the Salon of Mai and remains it for 50 years!

Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
