Bernard Rancillac (1931-2021) is considered the founder of Narrative Figuration in 1964, alongside the late Jacques Monory, the painter with the revolver gaze who died in 2018, Hervé Télémaque, the cultivated and scathing spirit of the Caribbean, and Erró, the Icelandic who happily hijacked movie posters, comics and propaganda portraits of Mao and other dictators.
In May 1968, Rancillac, back from Havana, produced silkscreen posters at the Atelier populaire des beaux-arts and thus contributed to the posters and slogans of May 68. This paternity was close to his heart and he claimed it very brutally, to 87 years old, during the round table on narrative figuration organized by the Gandur Foundation, a peaceful Saturday in March 2018 at Artcurial.
His target was the always laughing Gérard Fromanger (1939-2021) and they ferociously scrapped like students of the Beaux-Arts.
