{"title":"Rancillac","description":"\u003cp\u003eRancillac (1931–2021) was a French painter and key figure in the Figuration Narrative movement, which emerged in Paris in the mid-1960s as a critical response to American Pop Art. Working with mass-media imagery, advertising, and popular culture, Rancillac developed a politically engaged figurative practice that placed him at the centre of the French avant-garde through the late 1960s and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bernard-rancillac-pornographie-galerie-daniel-templon-paris-1969","title":"Rancillac — Pornographie, Galerie Daniel Templon, Paris, 1969","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGalerie Daniel Templon, Paris, 1969\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition invitation card issued for Rancillac's \u003cem\u003ePornographie\u003c\/em\u003e, held at Galerie Daniel Templon, 58 rue Bonaparte, Paris, from 22 April to 3 May 1969.

It is both invitation and filter — a small paper document through which the exhibition was framed, restricted, and made public only in part. What remains is not just an advertisement for a show, but a retained access piece: a document of entry, discretion, provocation, and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single invitation card\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16.6 × 13.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black on white coated stock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good — light handling wear, faint surface marking, soft age toning, and a pressure crease to the lower edge consistent with prior storage or clipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53246448107858,"sku":"BR-PORNO-1969-INV","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Rancillac_1069_001.jpg?v=1776667441"}],"url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/collections\/rancillac.oembed","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
