Pierre Buraglio, born 1939, lives and works in Paris

“In the painted collage Les très riches heures de P.B. (1982), Buraglio arranges strips of thick black tape over two adjoining spreads of newspaper, scribbled over and embellished with colored pencil. Humdrum newsprint has been transformed into a windowlike view, the ‘scene’ one of art-making and ornamented daily life.”
