Published on the occasion of the exhibition Jean-Pierre Raynaud – Sous Tension at the gallery in 2001, this catalogue invites you to discover the artist’s works devoted to the flags of the former Soviet Union. These works are part of a series of work initiated in 1998 on the exclusive theme of the flag, whereas it leaves the political world to acquire the status of an artwork, as a «Raynaud Object ».
Definitely pop and playful with its red and yellow cover echoing the former Soviet Union flags, this catalogue includes an interview of Jean-Pierre Raynaud by Jérôme Sans, by then co-Director of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
It also encloses the picture of the original cover of Tintin in Soviet’s land, testifying the friendship between the artist and Hergé.

Bilingual French-English conversation between the artist and Jérôme Sans. Biography. Literature.
