L’œuvre artistique de Marcel Broodthaers, commencée fin de l’année 1963, marque le passage du Pop vers le Conceptuel, dans la lignée de René Magritte. Marcel Broodthaers est poète lorsqu’il rencontre au printemps 1961 Maria Gilissen qui deviendra photographe et son épouse. D’origine du Limbourg, Gilissen fréquente durant les années 60 des milieux contestataires d’Amsterdam appelés les Provos et par après les Dolle Mina.
Provo recourt aux media, aux graffitis et aux tracts pour diffuser ses idées de façon très contemporaine : « Provo est une image » et la Pomme inversée l’un de ses symboles. Véritable phénomène social, Provo se dissout lors d’un immense happening en mai 1967, et certaines de ses idées encore incandescentes rejailliront à Paris durant Mai 68.
En 1964-65, Marcel Broodthaers peint le tableau Provo en guise de sympathie pour le père et le fils Bertozzi, ce dernier était admirateur de Provo. Broodthaers, à travers cette peinture, décrit ce mouvement comme une « Manifestation Poétique ». Le recto de la toile est peint en jaune et il peint au verso la pomme inversée et le mot Provo chacuns dans un cadre en miroir de chaque côté du châssis en s’inspirant des tableaux de Magritte des années vingt dans lesquels figurent des mots.
Marcel Broodthaers' artistic work, which he started in 1963, marks the transition from Pop to Conceptual art, following in Rene Magritte's footsteps.
Marcel Broodthaers is still a young poet when he meets Maria Gilissen in 1961, who will later become not only a photogrpaher but also his wife. Originally from Limbourg, Gilissen often mingles with fairly dissenting groups from Amsterdam, called the Provo, as well as the Dolle Mina.
Provo use the media, graffiti and flyers to circulate their ideas in a very contemporary way: "Provo is an image" and the inverted apple is one of their symbols. A true social phenomenon, Provo disolves during a grand happening in May 1967. Some off these ideals will resurface in Paris during May 68.
In 1964-65, Marcel Broothaers paints Provo as a sign of support to the Bertozzi father and son, who were great admirers of Provo. Through this painting, Broodthaers describes the movement as a "Poetical Manifestation". The recto of the canvas is painted in yellow and the verso bears the inverted apple as well as the word Provo on each side of the stretcher, drawing inspiration from the paintings by Magritte form the 20's who also used these words.
The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by the Marcel Broodthaers Estate and a certificate of authenticity will be delivered to the buyer.
