Jacques Brissot, born in 1929 and deceased on February 18, 2020, worked in Paris.
After studying plastic arts, he collaborated with the Cinémathèque Française, founded by Henri Langlois, and then directed films for cinema.
For television, he created the Image Research Group (Groupe de Recherche Image) within the O.R.T.F. Research Department, under the direction of Pierre Schaeffer. He made portraits of CNRS researchers, including Jean-Pierre Changeux, Pierre Bourdieu, Charles Fehrenbach, Adrien Douady, and Jean Jacques.
On occasion, he filmed his artist friends: painters or sculptors like Nicolas Schöffer, René Audebès, Hundertwasser, the Lalannes, Arman, Topor, and Recondo.
After the social unrest of 1968, Jacques Brissot returned to his first love: plastic arts. Drawing inspiration from great works of art history, he re-created them by assembling, gluing, and repainting images from magazines.
He also recomposed medieval altarpieces in relief using recycled toys and created animated and sound reliquary boxes where he celebrated his gods and friends, from Alfred Hitchcock to Roland Topor.
He collaborated on the sets and costumes for operas directed by Jean-Louis Martinoty.
He also made films about his own plastic artworks.
