Le Pompon by Angelo Pioppo Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Markers on 180g « Quality paper » Dimensions: 42 x 60 cm Year: 2018 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?A suspended dollar sign turns a cartoon chase into a compact satire on wealth, spectacle, and the aggression concealed within aspiration. Pioppo’s profile describes his practice as détournement, or the reuse of familiar imagery. Here, a mouse-like mascot and a blond public figure make commercial entertainment and political power difficult to separate.In the supplied reproduction, a long blue car cuts across three vertical compartments. One figure reaches toward money while another recoils among jagged marks; the surrounding phrase “UN MILLIONNAIRE À L’AMÉRICAINE” reads like a sardonic headline.The catalogue records markers on 180g paper. The medium supports emphatic black outlines, enclosed fields of bright colour, and hand-drawn lettering, giving slogan and image comparable graphic force.Dated 2018, Le Pompon provides a focused example for collections examining how political caricature borrows the immediate readability of advertising and cartoons to expose competition for wealth.
