Alain JACQUET (1939-2008). "Déjeuner sur l'herbe (detail n°10)", 1964. Silkscreen on round canvas monogrammed and numbered "DEJDET-PPR/T-64-N°10", titled "Detail10" on the back (missing material and edge wear, light scratches, one restoration). Diameter: 70 cm Accompanied by its certificate signed by Gaïa Jacquet-Matisse and Sophie Matisse and registered in the artist's archives under N° AJ-DEJDET-PPR/T-64-n° 10. Provenance : - Private collection of a member of the collector's collective La Peau du Chat, then by descent. Note: Initially a photograph of a picnic staged by the artist himself after the work of Edouard Manet, then a silkscreen print applied to canvas stretched on a frame, Déjeuner sur l'herbe has become a modern artistic icon. Alain Jacquet had his friends pose: Pierre Restany, pictured here; his wife, gallery owner Jeannine de Goldschmidt; painter Mario Schifano; and in the background, Jacqueline Lafon, Restany's sister-in-law. Faithful to the spirit of the mechanical process that produced this image, Alain Jacquet produced almost a hundred of them on canvas, each with a different format, unique in terms of the print run due to the offset of the screens. This work is part of the artist's Mec' Art (mechanical art) period and in the vein of Pop art, mixing popular codes with classical images, like Lichtenstein's Picasso, Martial Raysse's Ingres or Larry Rivers' inverted Manet.
