Alain Jacquet's Early Camouflages at Galerie Vallois

Galerie Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois in Paris presented an exhibition of Alain Jacquet's early works from 1961 to 1963, focusing on his 'Images d'Épinal' and 'Camouflages' series. The show ran from September 7 to October 11, 2015, marking the first exhibition dedicated to this specific period of the artist's career. Jacquet, associated with the Nouveau Réalisme movement, explored techniques of appropriation and mechanical reproduction, using pointillist-like dots to camouflage and reinterpret iconic images. The exhibition included works that prefigured his later, more famous 'camouflage' paintings, demonstrating his early interest in disrupting visual perception. Galerie Vallois, known for representing major figures of the French avant-garde, provided a focused look at Jacquet's foundational years.
