While in New York pop art offered a fresh perspective on an America in the throes of frenzied change, in Paris French painters and others from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Iceland also began exploiting images that had their origins in advertising, cinema and the popular press. Grouped under the umbrella term Narrative Figuration, they soon became the uncompromising critics of what was dubbed the consumer society. They were for the most part politically committed artists and many of them were actively involved in the political agitation that led up to the events of May 1968 in France.<br \/>\nOnce standard bearers, the Narrative Figuration artists have now been rediscovered by museums, which, like the Centre Pompidou, are dedicating increasing numbers of exhibitions to their work. Thanks to the acquisition of major works, the collection of the Fondation Gandur pour l\u2019Art in Geneva now provides what is without doubt one of the most exhaustive selections of works by Adami, Aillaud, Arroyo, Err\u00f3, Fromanger, Jacquet, Klasen, Monory, Rancillac, Schlosser, St\u00e4mpfli, T\u00e9l\u00e9maque and Voss, to name a few.<br \/>\nEdited by Jean-Paul Ameline, who curated the <em>Figuration narrative, Paris, 1960\u20141972<\/em> exhibition, held at the Grand Palais in 2008, this catalogue includes all its key works, with commentary and analysis by curators and art historians specializing in a movement that left an indelible mark on 1960s Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jean-Paul Ameline<\/strong> was a curator at the Mus\u00e9e national d\u2019art moderne de Paris (Centre Pompidou) from 1986 until 2013.
