Philippe Dereux (1918-2001) born in Lyon in a modest family became a teacher and taught in a college in Villeurbanne until his retirement in 1973. In 1955 he met Dubuffet in Vence, and from 1959 created collages from peelings and leaves, his live Traité des épluchures is the reflection of his passion.
