Arman, born Armand Fernandez on November 17, 1928 in Nice and died in New York on October 22, 2005, is a Franco-American artist, painter, sculptor and visual artist, known for his "accumulations" and his "angers". He was one of the first to directly use, as pictorial material, manufactured objects, which represented for him the multiple and infinite extensions of the human hand which undergo a continuous cycle of production, consumption, destruction.
