Armand Fernandez alias Arman (1928-2005) is a Franco-American artist, painter, sculptor and visual artist, known for his "accumulations" as well as more than 500 exhibitions that have been devoted to him. He is co-founder of the movement "The New Realists" with Yves Klein around 1960. He was one of the first to use directly, as pictorial matter, manufactured objects, which represented for him the multiple and infinite extensions of the hand of the man who undergo a continuous cycle of production, consumption, destruction.
