This work, which accompanied the first monographic exhibition of works by Andr\u00e9 Robillard, organized by Collection de l\u2019art brut, covers fifty years of original creations by a self-taught artist.
\nAndr\u00e9 Robillard (1931) makes rifles, planes, sputniks, and animals with waste materials and carved wood. These ingenious, complex creations have tremendous evocative power. Robillard also draws with felt-tip pens or coloured crayons in a wholly personal, poetic style. Fifty years after Andr\u00e9 Robillard made his first rifle, this lavishly illustrated book gathers together essays by several contributors who have known him personally and have had privileged access to him and his work, in many cases for several years
\nThe book is accompanied by a DVD containing archive material and two documentary films by Henri-Fran\u00e7ois Imbert.<\/p>\n
