Jacques Villeglé was a French mixed-media artist and affichiste (literally means poster designer) who is famouse for his alphabets with symbolic letters and his decollage with ripped or lacerated posters.
He builds his posters by layering the pieces of posters on top of one another. the top poster or posters would be torn to reveal the poster or posters underneath.
He devised the technique of making collages from fragments of torn-down posters with his friend and fellow artist Raymond Hains.
When he began to work with Hains, Villeglé began to use collage and ripped or torn posters to create ultra-letters psychogeographical hypergraphics. (although I have to say, I am still none the wiser as to what that actually is!)
