Jean Tinguely (22 May 1925 – 30 August 1991) was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, in the Dada tradition; known officially as metamechanics. Tinguely's art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society. ==Life== Born in Fribourg, Tinguely grew up in Basel, but moved to France in 1952 with his first wife Swiss artist Eva Aeppli,〔Leu, Aia. ''The Art of the Leu Family'', SeedPress, 2012, ISBN 978-0-9551109-2-4. (p. 13).〕 to pursue a career in art. He belonged to the Parisian avantgarde in the mid-twentieth century and was one of the artists who signed the New Realist's manifesto (''Nouveau réalisme'') in 1960. His best-known work, a self-destroying sculpture titled ''Homage to New York'' (1960), only partially self-destructed at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City,〔"The Garden Party", report about ''Homage to New York'' (1960) by Billy Klüver, reprinted in: Pontus Hultén (ed.): The Machine as seen at the End of the Mechanical Age.

Tinguely married fellow Swiss artist Eva Aeppli in 1951. In 1971, Tinguely married his second wife, Niki de Saint Phalle. Jean Tinguely died in 1991 at the age of 66 years in the Bern Hospital after a heart illness. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean Tinguely」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
