Provenance : Workshop of the artist (stamped and numbered on the back) Pierre Coquet (1926-2021) is a French painter who was born in Limas near Lyon, France. He entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon in 1942 and followed the teaching of Antoine Chartres, Henri Vielly and René Chancrin. He won a prize in 1945 and joined a movement that wanted to be outside of any school whose name ends with “ism”, (like impressionism, cubism…) between figuration and the renaissance of Abstract Art, bringing together young generations under thirty and eager not to submit to any technique. The “Sanzism” (literally without « ism ») will bring together, among others, painters: James Bansac, Roger Bravard, André Chaix, Jean Mélinand, Paul Clair, André Cottavoz, Pierre Doye, Jean Fusaro, Jacques Truphémus, André Lauran, Edouard Mouriquand, Pierre Palué, Paul Philibert-Charrin, Antoine Sanner and Françoise Juvin. The latter will become his wife in 1948. In 1949, he participated in an exhibition in Geneva, at the Musée de l'Athénée, entitled "Eleven French painters" with Jacques Truphémus and Jean Fusaro. Françoise and Pierre moved to Paris in 1950. There he met Alexandre Garbell, who encouraged him and whom he attended classes in his academy on Boulevard de Clichy. Working as an art teacher at the Corvisart school in Paris he painted a lot beside this activity. His main subjects are “assemblages of objects” which evoke the memory of Giorgio Morandi, the roofs of Paris, still lifes, characters in situation, and abstraction. This sincere and modest man, turned inward in a climate of deep meditation, likes to express his feeling that “all painters encounter the same difficulties in wanting to express unspeakable emotions with painting. Everything is possible, at the condition it is true ” use to say Pierre. I have known Pierre for a long time and organized several exhibition with their paintings. I am now taking care of the whole workshop providing beautifiul figurative and abstract works, paintings and many drawings with various sizes. Pierre was always working in his workshop, everyday, he needed it, painting was something vital to him. Paintings by Pierre Coquet are kept in the Museum Paul Dini in Villefranche. This well know museum has often exhibited works by the group « Sanzistes ».

  • Bread, fourme de Rochefort-Montagne and pottery on a wooden table
    Located in PARIS, FR
    A. FERREYROLLES (active around 1880) Bread, fourme de Rochefort-Montagne and pottery on a wooden table Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right 73 x 59 cm 1881 Few things are known to us about this Auvergne artist, who could to be Antoine Ferreyrolles, born in 1842 in Murat-le Quaire, about thirty kilometers southwest of Clermont-Ferrand; his surname being also very widespread in this part of Puy de Dôme. The Murol museum preserves three of his paintings, local landscapes, and there is a Entombment, painted in 1880 for the decor of the church of Rochefort-Montagne. There is also a Still Life with Game, dated 1886, and apparently in the same vein as our painting. This is executed in a very realistic style, bordering on trompe l'oeil, visibly inspired by artists from the beginning of the 17th century, such as the German Georg Flegel, the Dutch Floris Van Schooten or the Antwerp artist.
