Nécessaire Gosse de peintre<br />

Takeshi Kitano<br />

The Nécessaire Gosse de peintre is a unique piece imagined by Japanese filmmaker Takeshi<br />

Kitano in 2010. Inspired by the Japanese artist’s funny, dreamlike world, this suitcase<br />

combines all the indispensable accessories a “perfect painter” could need. Made by the<br />

Ateliers <strong>Cartier</strong>, it bears witness to <strong>Cartier</strong>’s savoir-faire in crafting leather, gold, quartz and<br />

obsidian to make this offbeat creation.<br />

In his exhibition Beat Takeshi Kitano, Gosse de peintre, presented at the <strong>Fondation</strong> <strong>Cartier</strong><br />

in 2010, Takeshi Kitano made a subtle and mischievous foray into the world of childhood<br />

that was full of surprises, gags and games. The creation of the Nécessaire Gosse de peintre<br />

is a direct prolongation of the exhibition: from brushes to palette, cup to easel, beret to<br />

candies and pencils to an inflatable muse, the painter has everything necessary in this<br />

complete suitcase to create a masterpiece in any location.<br />

The Nécessaire Gosse de peintre was exhibited at Art Basel and Art Basel Miami in 2010.<br />
