Arman, Violino, silk-screen printing, 20x30cm

In this artwork the artist rapresents one of his many violins, object suitable for the idea of the Noveau Ralisme -a movement of wich Arman was a member-, that has materials taken from the reality, even the most humble, among its own subjects. The definition used by Arman for himself “a painter that makes sculpture” -because his artworks don't have clear borders and can be considered both painting and sculpture- is appropiate for this artwork, where the main colours, orange and green, are almost the material parts asssembled to make the instrument.
