Guy Peellaert, died Monday in Paris of kidney cancer, was 74 years. And always have projects in mind, who could not keep doing nothing. His parents imagined surgeon, but he found his way by studying at the Beaux-Arts in Brussels, his hometown. As he liked to cover his tracks, he became neither a painter or illustrator, or photographer or graphic designer, but at the same time, driven by his passion for cinema and America.
A shift to Hara-Kiri In 1967, two comic emblems Jodelle and Pravda, the oversteer,Rock Dreams cult book co-authored by critic Nick Cohn: one million copies. This multimedia artist before the hour draws the pockets of 33 laps that count (It's Only Rock'n'Roll for the Rolling Stones Diamond Dogs for Bowie ...), continues The Big Room (1976-1986), zooms in on a mid-Hopper Vegas mid-operetta, implemented the generic Cinema Theater, displays movies (Taxi Driver, Wings of Desire, Silver ...) painted Dreams of the twentiethecentury (Grasset), where he airbrush Cassius Clay and Jackie Kennedy, Celine and Rushdie. Exposed to the Mep 2001, these pictures will give Guy Peellaert recognition that non-France rock'n'folk him measured. published by Losfeld, and in 1972, appears
There are thirteen in his studio in Paris Bastille, we met for the art magazine the Insane... Guy Peellaert had changed his ground-floor safe in iconography, which were piled magazines, books and all recent computers that made him such a feverish child at Christmas. He never imagined he who "Design [ed] like a madman" he should so soon turn digital. He spoke with a sweetness hidden beneath the shoulders of a sailor and a certain impatience to return to work. Selected pieces of music.
"I am a big romantic, I love people who go to the ladle with emotion and you know who made me want to go to the United States? Gershwin! The major organs, the impulses that lead you on a treadmill, Gershwin, New York is not America. A city where the air is crispy, where one feels that the sea is in the city like Barcelona. When I was a kid was a starter dreams and then, very quickly, it was no longer him. At age 15, finished. "
Thriller
"The girls with whom I went to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, I do not find in my family, very bourgeois, but that gave me a freedom crazy, especially my mother ... No, I went out in an environment where they fought a lot, where everything was more exciting, animal, like those girls who seemed to survivors of a thriller. For me, Lauren Bacall is the enemy, this fashionable, that intelligence ... Marilyn? Yes, perhaps the friend, at least the initial attraction. "
A fish in a bad water
"The rock arrives and sensually, we needed to rock. Nat King Cole to flirt, rock for the drives. The big difference between Europe and the United States - when viewed from a romantic point of view - is the individual. The individual American is to deceive the company to violate the laws, and either wins or he loses. This is the art of music and American cinema. In Europe, no notion of play, a man ready to fight, no, he complains: "What a dirty rotten society!" The essence of blues, rock, country, man against society, but he stands out. It does not repeat "Ah! the bastards, "he did not like the bastards, that's all. It is a fish in a bad water, but it does not demand that we change the water. "
Standing on tables
"I discovered Jimmy Cliff when I followed the Stones on tour with Keith Richards, guitarist, who had hip reggae. Reggae is the peps. I am not a priori very expansive, I remember that at Roxy in Los Angeles, we were standing on tables facing Bob Marley ... "
"I am attracted by the rats of cities, the word" rat "in the best sense of course. At the time when the world was peace, love and foobar, I loved New York and Lou Reed, so black. Why I prefer rats cities? Because of their instincts, stronger, in turn tragic, lonely, to me, is the sex appeal neon and formica. A rat of cities that I want to know? Bashung. But my life is so made that I saw as an old monk who trace of illuminations. He still has great moments of solitary encountered, but this is more a search for life in a pack. "
"Before, North America represented freedom from my family. Now it looks like my family. We must find emotions that you do not ask questions. Rap, I listen, the third piece choke. There are no impulses in rap is something studied, sensationalist for my taste. In the Cuban neighborhoods of Los Angeles at the ball Saturday night, get pumped, they fight, they flirt, do not go further than that. They are there to take their foot. I do not experience things as a tourist and you can not change life all the time. "
MUCH MUCH MORE PEELAERT AFTER THE ROCK DREAM
Guy Peellaert joins the stars
18/11/2008 14:10
The Belgian artist, author of the classic Rock Dreams, creator of images at once defiant and melancholy, died in Paris this Monday, November 17 at the age of 74 years.Logic always prevails: Guy Peellaert joined the stars he painted much of his life. But the shooting stars-or not-that Peellaert placed in his images were always on the verge of collapse, the solitude of their own humanity stripped.
Peellaert was, somehow, the columnist anti-people, seeing Mick Jagger and Marlene Dietrich, bearers of history sensitive to vibration and destructive power of time. Dylan alone at the back of a limousine, Janis Joplin desperately cut off from the world in his hotel room, Johnny Cash trapped behind the barbed wire of a penitentiary.
Perpetual dissatisfaction with the fact that fed extensively yet, it rebuilt itself in time, causing meetings fiercely imagined but not only Jackie Kennedy and Cassius Clay in common trip, Jane Fonda as a widow grieving alongside Nixon, Mitterrand lighting the cigarette Gainsbourg. All with humor and sexuality defoliant necessarily pouch-like portrait of the Stones-Nazis who removed him, fortunately, the art of thinking well.
There, he forgets not his restless youth, himself the son of a wealthy family, which flattened everything to discover the rock'n'roll of the working classes (...) before committing to volunteer in Korea. He will never forget that painting is an adventure, and that's why Rock Dreams, considered by Warhol's Interview magazine as the Sistine Chapel for 70 years, is timeless.The film provides an opportunity to express also his own projections of celluloid fantasy posters through to Scorsese, Wenders, Bresson and Resnais. For the latter, and a documentary about Gershwin, Guy will spend several months in his studio in the rue de Charonne on a mural as a monumental epic.
Painter side (Jack Nicholson collected), artist, experimenter, creator of collages using scissors, then by ordinary Peellaert is indeed one of the major artists engendered by Belgium. Has the monumental painting in Brussels, he worked in the pub, and then sets out in quick succession in middle sixties, two comic pop art provocative (Jodelle and Pravda) who decide to move to Paris.

Guy Peellaert died Monday of cancer at the age of 74 years. It was he who had provided us with the beautiful design of the pop cover BoDoï 118Dedicated to May 68. When I met him in his studio in Paris in April, Guy Peellaert was weakened by illness but his mind was still sharp. He then planned to give follow up Pravda the oversteerHis psychedelic cartoon output in 1968 at Eric Losfeld. This Pravda Modern comics have been a case against the so-called intellectual elite of Paris. Its heroine would have the features of the actress Isild Le Besco.
Born April 6, 1934 in Brussels, he formed the Fine Arts of the Belgian capital. He arrived in Paris in the 60s to make films and ended up working at Hara KiriAt the request of Cavanna. He leaves one after two cartoons which have marked the aesthetics of his day: Jodelle and Pravda the oversteer. The first takes its traits Sylvie Vartan, the second to Françoise Hardy. "At the time, I was under the influence ..." confessed it with malice. But the post-68 is disgusted. " Too much demagoguery, too cowardly. I have not supported. " He then worked in Germany, the United States. He has dozens of album covers rock (including Diamond Dogs by David Bowie) and d 'film posters (Taxi Driver, Short Cuts, Wings of Desire ...). Rock Dreams (1972) is one of his series of paintings the most famous.Recently, it was Japan who paid tribute through a major exhibition devoted to Pravda. And Brussels will do the same in 2009, during their years of comics: the exhibition "Retrospective" bring together works of Guy Peellaert Guido Crepax, Paul Cuvelier and Jean-Claude Forest.
Belgiës grootste nog levende graficus Guy Peellaert (°1934) werkte samen met oa. The Rolling Stones, David Bowie en Martin Scorsese. Voor Focus Knack portretteert hij voor het eerst in zijn carrière dEUS, de iconen van de Belgische muziek.
Released in 1973 with the brilliant text signed Nik Cohn, the book is a huge international success, sold 400 000 copies in the United States, and brings a torrent of proposals lucrative rock bands all trying to be "peellaertiser. But Guy resistant and will stick long in a handful of classic covers for the Stones, Bowie and French Variations before satisfying, although later applications Etienne Daho and Lio, the kind of pinup that vibrates.
The other two books that worker fussy, just obsessed with detail and sometimes soup-au-lait are also two blocks. The latest, 20th Century Dreams, released in 1999, reads the century in question with the excitement of a great mixer and visual acuity scanner emotional. But our favorite is without a doubt, Las Vegas The Big Room (1986) where remarkable text by Michael Herr (Apocalypse Now screenwriter) accompanies images that tell their own way, slow and melancholy, the terminal of the glory and American dream.
This summer, he had collaborated with Focus Vif for a series of images "rock" which proved all the freshness and richness of his imaginative look. Guy Peellaert died of cancer in Paris, he left his son (Orson) and his wife Elizabeth, translator of American literature, the task of continuing the path of Peellaert.
