Oil on canvas titled “Rue Gay Lussac – Etudiants 68” by the Student Collective of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1968. Chassis and wooden baguette frame created and painted by the artists. Dimensions of the painting 49x49 cm Total dimensions, with frame, 55x55 cm During the events of 1968 the Paris School of Fine Arts was occupied by students, artists and activists. The workshops, the nerve centers of an insurrection, are also spaces of prolific revolutionary creation. The artists bear witness to this page of history. It was a new conception of artistic work that was to emerge in those years, which placed emphasis on the materiality of the work – its support, its frame, its formats.
