André CottavozNu Nacré or Nude in Mother of Pearl
About the Item
This thickly painted and textural work is lush with mother of pearl type colors. It is suggests a nude but plays with the eye in terms of seeing it completely. Few artists could apply paint as thickly as it is done here, this is signature Cottavoz. There are light greens and pale pinks amongst what appears to be an off white color overall. Its in a leafed silvered edge modern frame with an interesting finish that compliments the piece.
A founding member of the group known as Sansisme, or "without ism", Cottavoz treated his all of his subjects, weather it was still life, landscape, or figure study, with expressive and energetic impasto verve, a style formed after the Post-Impressionist movement where he was influenced by the work of Van Gogh and Chaim Soutine. In Nu Nacre he veils his figure in a tonal field of slight variations of yellow and green. He is represented at the prestigious Galerie Tamenaga, as the owner of this gallery loved the work of this artist.

André Cottavoz
Born in 1922 in Saint-Marcellin near the town of Grenoble in France, André Cottavoz was passionate about painting from an early age. Encouraged by his mother, an artist herself, Cottavoz entered the Fine Arts School in Lyon at the age of 18. Despite having been pressed into service during WWII, Cottavoz continued to paint and draw through the early 1940s. After the end of War he, along with Pierre Coquet a fellow student from Lyon, co-founded a group of painters who called themselves Noisme, or Sanzisme (without ism), also known as the Lyon School of New Figuration. Comprised of artists under the age of 30, their sole purpose was to paint “in the light” with no particular defining or restricting technique, rejecting all current artistic trends. In 1953 Cottavoz was awarded the Fénénon Prize by the University of Paris. Such a commendation served to boost his reputation. A close friendship of Japanese art dealer Kiyoshi Tamenaga, whom he met in 1957, opened doors to Japan for Cottavoz hosting exhibitions of his work at his gallery in Tokyo. He died in 2012.
