As I continued my gallery window gazing up rue de Seine...
I discovered an exhibition of Chasse-pot
( Galerie Vallois, 41 rue de Seine, Paris 75006)
Jean-Jules Chasse-pot's real name is Paul Rancillac
born in Paris in 1933 and died 2010.
He is known for his papier mache sculptures of heads...
petty bourgeois, soldiers, caricatures.
Chasse-pot mentions...
" as my dog is attracted to other dogs"
he is attracted to heads and the look of his peers.

ReplyDeleteRue de Seine is a great street - so much to see and do. I'm sure you've eaten at La Boissonnerie there, right?
ReplyDeleteWith great wine, wonderful bread, friendly for dining alone...a great mix. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call using your head!
