M. Villegle (b. 1926) is a member of the "Affichistes" school of art which descended from the Cubists and Dadaists in making art that was a form of collage, but they had even more to do with Surrealist automatism, chance and anonymous collaboration. The ''cadavre exquis,'' or exquisite corpse, which involved several artists contributing to a work without knowing what the others were doing, was a Surrealist game that Mr. Villegle regarded as very important to his development. At the same time, his works most immediately bring to mind what some of the American Abstract Expressionists were doing in the 1950's and they anticipate, in their focus on popular imagery and the culture of the street, Pop (Rosenquist, Rauschenberg), 70's public art, graffiti art and on and on.
