At the head of his construction company in Laval from 1930, he leads a flourishing career and pursues activities of amateur and enlightened artist.<\/p>\n<p>After the Second World War, settled in Paris, he actively participated in the reconstruction of the cultural life of the capital in the company of Jacques Pr\u00e9vert, Andr\u00e9 Breton and Jean Dubuffet.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 1950, he crossed the Atlantic and reached South America, which he explored as far as the southern lands for five years. In Brazil, he continued his research in the field of ceramics with scientists. The first prize at the S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial in 1951 gave him international recognition. It was also in Belo Horizonte during the preparations for the construction of Brasilia that Robert Tatin discovered the flexibility of cement veils. From Brazil to Tierra del Fuego, he frequented both the intellectual and wealthy salons of the large capitals in full development and the popular exuberance of the favelas.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to France in 1955, he settled for a few years on the French Riviera and renewed his ties with the artistic circles of the time.<\/p>\n<p>In 1962, at the age of sixty, he returned permanently to Mayenne, to Coss\u00e9-le-Vivien, where he erected the most spectacular of his works. For a little more than twenty years, while pursuing his career as a painter, he modelled around his house a monumental polychrome sculpture in harmony with the landscape that welcomed him.<\/p>\n<p>Often associated with na\u00efve art, surrealism or art brut, Robert Tatin always refused to belong to any one artistic movement and maintained his creative freedom throughout his life, keeping his taste for the artists of the past and their skills but also soaking up the great upheavals of the century that he lived through.<\/p>\n<p>Far from being an isolated artist, he remains unclassifiable and remains, until his last day in 1983, he kept being of the creation of his time, associating a resolutely modern aesthetic to a thought turned towards the future.<\/p>\n      <img decoding=\"async\" draggable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"redbloc__bg lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/patrimoine.lamayenne.fr\/robert-tatin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/logo-robert-tatin-signe-blanc.svg\" alt=\"https:\/\/patrimoine.lamayenne.fr\/robert-tatin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/logo-robert-tatin-signe-blanc.svg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\">\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Tatin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1687","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The artist - Robert Tatin<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Qui est Robert Tatin ?
