As some of the non-utilized objects being assembled together, and were given a new meaning of life, these objects have been reborn. Arman is interested in music, philosophy, Judo, and Chess, for Arman, the importance of painting or sculpture should no longer be a platform to stress the excellence of craftsmanship or skills of an artist, instead, they should point out the genuine problems of post-industrialization, such as resulting the waste of resources due to mass-production as seen in Arman’s Garbage assemblage series works of art. At the time, Arman didn’t have the money to buy the things he wanted, so he would go to trash dumps in his neighborhood, charitable organizations to collect things to accumulate. As such, these recollection of abandoned goods are presented to the public in ways that would challenge the eyes of the public, which then triggered greater response.

“Vénus au violin” is the one of the finest exemplar of Arman’s notable works, not only does it have the dissembled violins, coincided with the Venus, a symbol of admiration. What will be the conversation of the two? Arman enjoyed using violins as his materials in creations, whether or not this dissected violin can still project the beautiful sound or not, this is no longer the discour se of this work. On the contrary, it is telling us to reform our conscious, in order to view this multidimensional view of Venus and violin, or simply to view things in multiple sides. This is what Arman would want us to note and to see.
