In the midst of the buzz of news that we hear from the media and social networks, a star has yet died out in the utmost silence. A formidable star, who still shone with the energy of a child’s heart and the passion of a young man … at over 96 years old.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bernard Quentin was one of the last living contemporary French artists to shake up the 20th century and the art of the 1950s and 1970s. Friend of Picasso, Boris Vian, Jean-Paul Sartre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Anne-Marie Cazalis and Juliette Gr\u00e9co whose life he shared at the end of the 1940s, he participated in numerous exhibitions at the Galerie Maeght alongside Joan Mir\u00f3 , Alberto Giacometti, Calder and T\u00e0pies and works with Le Corbusier then Restany before traveling the world in search of the different forms of language that have forged the history of our world. He thus became a real driving force behind Semiotic art and, through his research, enriched various areas of automatic writing to the point that Salvador Dal\u00ed considered him a true “pioneer of cybernetic art and electronic writing”.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
