Armand Pierre Fernandez was born on 17th november, 1928 in Nice and dead in New York on 22nd october, 2005. Arman was a french artist, painter, sculptor and plastistician, famous for his accumulations. He studied at the Decorative School Arts of Nice where he met Yves Klein, then at the Louvre School. He was a member of New Realist group by side of Cesar. One of the most inspired town in his work is Dunkirk (in the north of France). In his work, he didn't used only everyday objects, but also the most colossal of things. Anchorage, an accumulation of marine anchors erected in 1982, exposed in Dunkirk, is one of the artist's very imposing works of accumulation. Ease of these monumental assemblages acts on it mediate environment. Here the anchors appear to be the metaphor for a town entirely focused on the sea, Dunkirk, which has also inspired three other monumental projects : "Non plus jamais la guerre" and "Accumulation de grues portuaires", nether executed, and "A Stankewitch".
