Very rare biography of the collective of designers, artists and graphic designers called Bazooka. The group was formed at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1974. It is made up of Kiki Picasso, Lulu Larsen, Olivia Clavel (Electric Clito), Loulou Picasso, Bernard Vidal, Philippe Bailly and Jean Rouzaud. A group which innovated, deeply avant-garde. Bazooka even merged with punk that shines in the years 1976/1978. In this Biography, Seisser returns to the history of the group, the energy, the insolence and the violence that characterized it. It is also the story of their disintegration. “Bazooka: the adventure of six young French people from the 80s who, at a time when we speak of pre-retirement and a 35-hour week, invented a new aesthetic”. Book abundantly illustrated with photographic archives and drawings. Exciting and informative.
