Roland MICHENET (1945-1974) Untitled, 1967 Acrylic and ink on canvas, signed and dated lower right. Minor mending and slightly slackened canvas. 150.5 x 281 cm Provenance: Daniel Cordier collection, Paris. Roland MICHENET (1945-1974), born in Paris on June 17, 1945, trained at the École des arts décoratifs and the École des métiers d'arts, where he learned stained glass. In 1967, he exhibited at the Karl Flinker gallery in Paris and in 1968 at the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. His work was also shown in New York in 1969 at the Cordier-Ekström Gallery, as Daniel Cordier was fascinated by this dazzling creator, involved in a totally renewed search for expression. a totally renewed search for expression, in terms of techniques, media and formats. Prematurely deceased in 1974 at the age of 29, this meteor of pop-culture remains little known (only a handful of his works are included in the Daniel Cordier Donations). Nonetheless, his work remains fundamental to the pivotal period between the late 1960s and early 1970s, making him France's Pop artist in both technique and style. Pop artist, both in terms of his technique and his subjects, addressing the concerns of his time, from sexuality to drugs and violence. His compositions, complex assemblages borrowing from photography photography, cinematic points of view and the ancestral technique of stained glass, he confers on the viewer the status of voyeur, and confers on him the status of an eloquently relevant contemporary image-maker.
