Reviews
Overview
Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely met in Paris in 1955, in the artistic effervescence of the post-war period. 25 and 30 respectively, and both married, and they became close friends. It took them five years to fall in love and decide to create and live together. For forty years, this nomadic couple did not make children, but rather sculptures, preferably monumental, all over the world. From Europe to Japan, their works have dazzled audiences, enchanting young and old with sacred machines and multicolored creatures. In THE BONNIE AND CLYDE OF ART, testimonials and archival images help to trace their life and artistic epic. — LES RENCONTRES DU FILM D’ART
