This ambitious monograph reveals the strong and singular body of work of the major painter in the French art scene.

Marc Desgrandchamps explores the notions of opacity, transparency, and superimposition. Far from realistic representation, his figurative work allows the strange to emerge through distorted perspectives, undefined spaces, and fragmented bodies.

The book includes essays by Pauline Nobécourt and Danièle Cohn, an interview with the artist by Erik Verhagen, and forewords by Frédérique Goerig-Hergott and Jean Frémon.
