Gérard-Philippe Broutin (1948, Paris, France – 2012, Paris, France) was a French artist closely associated with the lettrist movement, an avant‐garde collective that rethought the relationship between language and visual art. Born in Paris, Broutin developed an early fascination with the interplay of text and form, which would later become the hallmark of his work. He emerged in the early 1970s as one of the prominent voices within lettrism, collaborating and exhibiting alongside influential figures such as Isidore Isou and Jean‐Pierre Gillard. Broutin’s art is characterized by its experimental integration of abstract forms with linguistic elements. Notable works such as Lettristic Composition I, Carré de Silence, and Echoes of the Word exemplify his quest to dissolve the boundaries between image and language, inviting viewers to explore multiple layers of meaning. His innovative approach led him to participate in several important exhibitions, including the International Lettrist Exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris (1978) and the Avant-Garde Forum at Galerie Inter-Art in Lyon (1982). Broutin also engaged in fruitful collaborations with fellow lettrist artists like Roland Sabatier and Jean-Pierre Gillard, contributing significantly to the evolution of the movement. Today, Gérard-Philippe Broutin’s legacy continues to inspire contemporary artists interested in conceptual practices and the dynamic intersections of text and image in art.
