French poster artist. Born in Paris. After graduating from the École Lavoisier, he met Cassandre in 1935 and became his collaborator. In 1949, after a joint exhibition with Bernard Villemot (1911-1989), his poster for a soap company, "Mon Savon," attracted attention. His free and flowing lines and eccentric images, full of a kind of humor, were called "visual scandals," and the artist himself was nicknamed "Shock Man." In addition to creating posters for general companies, UNICEF, the National Library, and the Poster Museum, he also designed the set and costumes for Molière's "The Miser," which was performed by the Comédie-Française in 1969. Although he was not particularly active in the 1970s, he began to show a strong creative drive again in the 1980s, triggered by a job for the car company Citroën, and in 1984 he produced the poster " Euro '84 Final " for the European Football Championship Final in Paris. In 1987, a collection of his works, "Savignac: The A to Z of Posters," was published. In September 2001, towards the end of his life, an exhibition of Savignac's work was held at the Bibliotheque Ferney in Paris, and Savignac himself, now over 90 years old, made an appearance at the exhibition in good health.

フランスのポスター作家。パリ生まれ。エコール・ラボワジエ卒業後、1935年カッサンドルに出会いその協力者となる。49年、ベルナール・ビルモBernard Villemot(1911―89)との二人展の後、石鹸(せっけん)会社のポスター『モンサボン』が注目を集める。自由で伸びやかな線描と一種おかしみを湛(たた)えた奇抜なイメージづくりは、「ビジュアル・スキャンダル」ともよばれ、作家自身は「ショック男」の異名をとるほどであった。一般企業をはじめ、ユニセフ、国立図書館、ポスター美術館のためのポスターを手がけるかたわら、69年には「コメディ・フランセーズ」が上演したモリエールの『守銭奴』の舞台装置と衣装デザインの仕事もこなしている。 その後1970年代には目だった活動がみられなかったものの、80年代に入ると自動車会社シトロエンの仕事を契機としてふたたび旺盛(おうせい)な制作意欲を示し始め、84年にはサッカーのヨーロッパ選手権決勝大会(パリ)のためのポスター『Euro '84 Final』を制作した。87年には作品集『サビニャック ポスターのAからZ』が刊行された。また晩年の2001年9月にはパリのビブリオテク・フェルネイでサビニャック展が開かれ、90歳を過ぎたサビニャック自身も会場に元気な姿を現した。 [村田 宏] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
