Arman

Arman (November 17, 1928 – October 22, 2005) was a French-born American artist. Born Armand Fernandez in Nice, France, Arman was a painter who moved from using objects for the ink or paint traces they leave (cachet, allures dobjet) to using them as the painting itself. He is best known for his accumulations and destruction/recomposition of objects.
