Marc Devade
 Marc Devade (1943–1983) was a French painter.[1] He is well known for his ink paintings and involvement with the Supports/Surfaces movement.[2][3] BiographyMarc Devade was a painter and writer.[2] In 1962 Devade began studying philosophy. He was a member of the editorial board of the journal Tel Quel, co-founder and editor of Painting, Theoretical Notebooks, and was one of the main leaders of the debates on the relationships between practice and theory in the field of visual arts.[4][5] He initially started out as a poet, with an admiration of philosophy.[5] The involvement of ink in his work correlate to his interest in China and Maoism.[1][3] In 1970, he joined the Supports/Surfaces group in exhibitions and discussions.[5][4] The painter's first exhibition opened at the Le Haut Pavé gallery in Paris in 1970.[6] The artist dedicated his practice in the Supports/Surfaces movement to integrating aesthetic, philosophy, and political ideology.[5] The ideas lived in the Peinture, Cahiers Théoriques. [5] The artist live on dialysis treatments and died at the age of forty.[1] WorkFrom 1972 to 1974, were very important years of this artists life.[1] In 1972, Devade started using Indian ink instead of acrylic paint in his works.[1] He overlapped layers and experimented with the transparency of the ink. During his brief career, he never gave up his stretched canvas, like many other members of the Supports/Surfaces group.[3] Instead his intention was for the ink and colors to make the canvas forgotten, to put full focus on the dispersion of light and layering.[3] Selected exhibitionsSolo exhibitions1998 Exposition dédiée à l'activité, l'oeuvre et la mémoire de Marc Devade, Galerie Gérald Piltzer, Paris, France[7] Marc Devade, dessins, Galerie Bernard Jordan, Paris, France[8] 1989 Galerie Jacques Girard, Toulouse, France[1] Group exhibitions2019 Unfurled, Supports/Surfaces 1966-1976, MOCAD[9] 2018 Supports/Surfaces, Galeria Mascota[10] The Surface of the East Coast: Supports/Surfaces from Nice to New York, Bienvenu Steinberg & Partner[11] 2007 Musée des Beaux-Arts, Le Havre, France[12] 1971 Peinture, cahiers théoriques, n°1, Galerie Yvon Lambert,[13] Paris, France 1970 Supports/Surfaces, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, A.R.C., Paris, France[11] References
