Alain Jacquet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alain Jacquet is a French artist born February 22, 1939 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. He is widely acknowledged as being a French representative of the American Pop Art movement, a visual artistic movement that emerged in the 1950s. He is married to Sophie Matisse, great-granddaughter of the French Fauvist artist Henri Matisse. Alain Jacquet lives in New York and Paris and teaches at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Camouflage Botticelli (Birt of Venus) (1963-64) is a famous work of his. In a series of camouflage paintings, he often uses motifs from older, very famous paintings, such as in this case from the painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli.
