Jean-Michel Sanejouand (18 July 1934 – 18 March 2021) was a French artist. His work ranged from environments to monumental sculptures, from readymade-like objects, to paintings of oneiric landscapes in which (usually) one of his sculptures stands.
Biography[edit]
Born in Lyon, France, in 1934, he received a degree in law from the Institut d'études politiques de Lyon in 1955.[2] He lived and worked in Paris between 1959 and 1993.
His work can be encapsulated in a series of distinct periods, which the artist titled.
From 1962 to 1963, he worked on a series of sculptural paintings that he called "Charge-Objets" (English: "Charge-Objects").[3]
From 1969 to 1974 he created a series of works under the general title of "Organisations d'espace" (English: "Space Organizations").[4][5]
He died on 18 March 2021 at his home in Maine-et-Loire, France.[1]
