Daniel Pommereulle: Life and Work Indistinguishable

opinion-review · 2026-04-24

A review in artpress no. 435 (July-August 2016, p. 79) by Ferdinand Gouzon examines the figure of Daniel Pommereulle (1937-2003), an artist whose life and work are so intertwined as to become indistinguishable. The article, titled "Daniel Pommereulle. De l’en-dedans vers l’au-delà," also references a work titled "Huitièmement, qu’est-ce que la cruauté ? Multiple." The review appears in the context of a contemporary reassessment of Pommereulle's oeuvre, which is marked by themes of cruelty and existential inquiry.
