OBJECTAL
Introduction
Objectal : a bicephal actor in Art. Bernard Dreyfuss and Claude Pougny met each other in 1964 at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts (Paris).
From then on, they will participate in collective exhibitions together, which will then lead them to form a parternship under the name of Objectal in January 1976. The starting point of their inspiration: the bowl, item of the everyday that leads them to explore the world of representation in all its forms, from abstraction to figuration.
