Sujet: La Jeune Peinture
It is not often that one can see a complete overview of an art movement, but this is the case for the post-war French figurative school known as La Jeune Peinture , whose members practically all contributed to the series of print portfolios Sujet. I have the first five issues of Sujet, published between 1950 and 1953, and I believe that that is the complete set. Sujet was published by the artist Philippe Cara Costea (1925-2006), who was the organizing force behind the screenprinting collective that produced it. According to a website devoted to Cara Costea , the group was formed in 1949. The first issue is undated, but can be confidently dated to 1950 as several of the artists dated their prints '50, and the second issue came out in January 1951. Issues 3 and 4 also appeared in 1951, but the last issue was not published until June 1953.
