Jean-Pierre Pincemin retrospective catalog published by Gallimard

Éditions Gallimard has published a catalog accompanying three simultaneous exhibitions dedicated to French painter Jean-Pierre Pincemin at the museums of Roubaix, Angers, and Céret. The book includes texts by Ch. Bonnefoi, D. Laks, B. Lamarche-Vadel, and J. Py, and serves as a comprehensive volume reuniting works separated across the three venues. It offers two readings: one tracing Pincemin's artistic journey from 1960s experiments through the Supports/Surfaces period to his figurative work of the last twenty years; the other juxtaposing paintings and sculptures to reveal a consistent "obsession with construction." The catalog highlights Pincemin's turn toward non-Western influences, including references to China, Persia, India, and Japan, combined with a renewed interest in medieval and religious iconography. Philippe Forest contributes an essay.
