Pierre Restany was born on June 24,1930 in Amelie-les-Baines-Palalda, Pyrenees-Orientales located in southern France and died on May 29, 2003 in Paris. He grew up in Casablanca and studied in France, Italy, and Ireland. He was an internationally know art critic and cultural philosopher.
He and Yves Klein came up with the idea of "Nouveau Realisme" and described it as "new perceptual approaches to reality". Artists like Niki de Saint Phalle, Christo, Cesar, Jacques Villegle, and Jean Tinguely were all apart of Restany's new realism.
His work got into detail about problems that Frace was facing in modern days.
He was the editor of the Domus archetectual magazine and co-founder of Domus Academy.
What about your subject is particularly "French"?
Pierre Restany loved living and creating in France. He lived in Frace for his whole life and enjoyed showing people the "new real" meaning of things. He used his artistic abilities to bringing forth a new era of artwork in the French world that would be similar to American pop art that is more modern and relative to problems France is facing through art and got the message across.

What are the major themes that your subject adresses?
Pierre criticized other people's artwork because thats what he did for a living. His group of new realists adressed the "humanistic ideals in the face of industry expansion". Humanistis ideas are ideas based on human nature and such. His work was themed pop and modern art. Towards his end, he thought on nature and chaos (the events and courses that nature takes) with artist Carlos Ginzburg and created an exhibition in New York in 2001.
