This book is "Looked at the Mural and American Society of the 1970s". The author of his personal reflections feeds on his discovery of works and his encounters with artists. It is a story that combines both autobiographical references, didactic elements and a critical essay on contemporary art. The author replaces public art in its essential dimension. Noting that the time of the space has changed radically, Hervé-Armand BECHY poses, in filigree, the question of the relationship of artists to institutions and the art market and at the same time wonders about the future of creation. Hervé-Armand BECHY is a theoretician of art, a specialist in public art. He is the author of numerous articles and essays published in books and art magazines in Europe and the United States. Deeply involved with artists, he is internationally recognized as a leader in the debate on contemporary public art.
