Provenance : Vente Pescheteau, Paris, November 1992; Collection Weil-Thenon, Paris
Signovert initially trained as an engineer before enrolling at the École des Beaux Arts Saint-Etienne in 1943. His progressive and radical attitude quickly attracted the attention of several influential artworld figures. Not least of those was Aimé Maeght who had just opened her famous Galerie Maeght in Paris, and Signovert would later exhibit there in important shows such as Sur Quatre Murs, Tendences, Le Noir est une Couleur, Les Mains Eblouies that championed the avant-garde of post-war Paris.
His tremendous energy and erudition on abstract art brought Signovert great respect, admired by Jean Fautrier who became a lifelong friend, he became associated with the avant-garde elite such as de Stael, Giacometti, Calder, Poliakoff, Braque, Villon, and Henri-Georges Adam .
In recognition of his distinguished career, Signovert was nominated Professor of the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1980; awarded the prestigious Prix Fénéon; and celebrated by a major retrospective of his work at Galerie Callu Mérite, Paris. As well as a prominent painter, Signovert also worked as a designer on many high profile projects with Roger Chastel, Paul Edouard, Braque, Francis Ponge, Maurice Estève, and André Frenaud.
The artist’s work is represented in major museums of modern art including Musée Nationale d’Art Moderne, Paris; Bibliotheque National, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York.
