About the Item
Andrée HONOREE (1945-1992)
Untitled, 1980
Gouache on paper
Signed and dated "1980" lower center
43 x 31.5 cm
Born in 1945 in Tourcoing, Andrée Honoré is one of the women sculptors who have chosen wood as their main medium. For a time, she had a studio in the Passage Ricaut in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, where she worked alongside the artists Jacques Hérold (1901-1987), Edgard Pillet (1912-1996) and Leonardo Delfino (1928-2022).
Drawing played an important role in the artist's creative process. She began by drawing free-form shapes in pencil on graph paper, before tracing them on templates once they had been enlarged. These shapes are then cut out and assembled. The use of beech plywood in various shades in successive layers on the surface of his sculptures enables him to accentuate their volumes.
For ten years or so, Andrée Honoré concentrated on rhythm through the repetition of one or more geometric forms (ill.1) before turning to curves, celebrating the fullness of the body's curves and the intertwining of organic tissues. From 1987, she abandoned allusive figuration and began a return to the geometry of her beginnings. The wood is no longer visible, but covered in dark-coloured resin.
The artist created several monumental works, notably for the teacher training college in Charleville-Mézières (1971) and the municipal cemetery in Le Blanc-Mesnil (1992). His work was the subject of an acclaimed solo exhibition held in 1989 at the Michèle Broutta gallery in Paris.
The original gouache drawing we are presenting is fully in line with the stylistic preoccupations that occupied the artist in the early 1980s.

Jacques, Paul, Firmin Coulais is a French painter born on March 22 , 1955 in Fenioux ( Deux-Sèvres ) and died at the age of 56, the June 25 , 2011 in Niort (Deux-Sèvres). Born into a farming family, he was the seventh of eight children. Suddenly becoming a quadriplegic at the age of six following poliomyelitis, he overcame this handicap by building with determination an independent life centered on artistic practice and an intense social life. For more than thirty years his house and his workshop have been the center of attraction for many artists, art lovers or simply friends of Niort and all of France. Coulais began to paint with his mouth, as an autodidact. In 1978, he made the acquaintance of a plastic art teacher who advised him and engaged him on the path of watercolour. The freedom granted to him by this technique as well as the flexibility of its application fascinate him. This meeting and the friendship shared with his teacher, lead him and very quickly direct his work from figurative to abstraction in a way that he explores and that he will then find in the works of Kandinsky and Paul Klee. Admitted to the School of Fine Arts in Angoulême, he studied there from 1981 to 1984 and obtained the National Superior Diploma in Plastic Expression at the age of 31. A few years later, Jacques Coulais exhibited at the Museum of Niort and since then, his career has been punctuated by his participation in numerous exhibitions organized very regularly in various French cities as well as abroad.
