Under the direction of the critic Pierre Restany, Nouveau Réalisme was formed at
the flat of Yves Klein in Paris, on October 27, 1960. This movement was made up of
13 artists including Klein, and many of them eventually became world-famous artists.
However, despite of this interesting fact, their activities as a group have not been
discussed sufficiently in the past. But now, there is no doubt that Nouveau Réalisme is
being historically re-evaluated all over the world.
In this article, following this trend, we attempt to reexamine the movement by
considering their “poetics”. Nouveau Réalisme was supported by Restany’s theory of
“appropriation of the real”. But this theory was neither accepted by all participants, nor
so effective to analyze their works. So, we reconsider the theory of Restany, and try to
separate works of Nouveau Réalisme from the concept of appropriation. Our aim is to
clarify their thoughts presented in their works themselves, and to illuminate them as
poetics of Nouveau Réalisme. Our proposition is below: their particularity should be
sought in “making a new sight” or “new perceptual approach to reality”, and it is here
that their poetics are found.
