Arman (Armand Fernandez) (1928-2005) was a painter who first created works made from the ink or paint traces of objects ("cachet", "allures d'objet”) and then moved to making paintings composed of actual objects. Arman developed his most recognizable style between the years 1959 to 1962. It centered on his two most renowned concepts: "Accumulation" and "Poubelle" (French for "trash bin"). The accumulations are collections of multiple common and identical objects arranged in polyester castings or within Plexiglas cases and the "Poubelles" are collections of strewn refuse.
