Francois Dallegret was an avant-garde artist active in the 1960s known for his imaginative works that challenged conventions. Some of his most notable pieces included the Littératuromatic from 1963, which combined text and images in an unexpected way, and his work on the 2020 West television series, a comedy-adventure set in a futuristic American West. Dallegret was praised by Buckminster Fuller for having an unlimited imagination that could benefit the world. His works spanned various mediums including sculpture, furniture, illustrations, and television in a career focused on surprising the viewer and pushing the boundaries of what was considered normal in art.

Littératuromatic. François Dallegret [1963].
“[T]here are some people, like Bucky
Fuller, for example, who make you look
at the world around you in a totally
unexpected and rather unhinging way-
the world around you, from a toothpick
to an atom bomb. Francois is another.
Francois’ world is a world of surprise
and pleasure and delight that I did not
know until we became friends. I think
that Francois Dallegret is, probably,
unemployable in that world. Tant pis for
him more so for our world (it could, I
think, benefit considerably from his
unlimited imagination.”
