About the Item
Paris, Tuileries Garden. 1961. Oil on canvas, 27x41 cm
Andree Cottavoz (1922-2012)
André Cottavoz is a painter and lithographer who belonged to the Sanzistes group and Paris School. His figurative work is powerful and quasi-carnal, pouring forth a flamboyant radiance accentuated by the sheer thickness of his paint, literally sculpted with a knife.
André Cottavoz was born in Saint-Marcellin in Isère, the first child of the young Marguerite who was just 18 years old. He manifested his passion for painting from adolescence. His mother, who was a watercolorist, encouraged him in this path, bought him colors, and took him to paint with her in nature. He experimented with copying landscapes. The reproduction of a Vincent Van Gogh painting that he discovered in a shop window was a revelation. Back home, he borrowed a knife and started to paint, or rather sculpt the material, a practice that never left him. At the age of 18, he enrolled at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon to continue his apprenticeship. During his first year there, France plunged into the chaos of World War II. The young man was drafted into the French mandatory labor force (STO) in Austria. Working conditions were difficult, and life was hard. Everyone resisted as best they could. Painting saved André Cottavoz.
André Cottavoz and Sanzism
Strongly marked by his years of captivity, André Cottavoz found it challenging to adapt to his new life after the war.
Urged by his mother, he returned to Lyon and reintegrated the School of Fine Arts. In 1948, he organized the first exhibition of “Sanzists” at the Chapel of the Ampère High School in Lyon with his student friends, Jean Fusaro, Jacques Truphémus, Georges Adilon, and Philibert Charrin in particular,
Sanzists is a term by which the participants expressed their opposition to bear any label. “Sansisme”, neither impressionism, fauvism, nor cubism.

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.
