About the Item

Signed lower left, 'Roger Derieux' (French, 1922-2015) and painted circa 1960. Born in Paris, Roger Derieux first studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and, subsequently, at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Early in his career, he also received painting lessons from Francis Picabia. Derieux first exhibited at the Salon Moins de Trent Ans and the Salon d’Octobre and, later, at the Salon des Tuileries, the École de Paris, at the Charpentier Gallery (1963) and the Salon d’Automne. He also exhibited with success internationally including at solo exhibitions in Paris, New York, Copenhagen, Tokyo, San Francisco, Oslo, Vienna and Prague among other cities. Over the course of a long career, he was the recipient of numerous prizes, medal and juried awards including at Grenoble (1964), the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris (1965) and the Prix Lissone, Milan (1955). He also worked as a book illustrator, particularly for Symbolist poets including Charles Baudelaire for whose poems he created softly-modeled, interpretative figurative works. Early in his career, Durieux experimented, successively, with Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstraction and eventually developed his own uniquely personal style, integrating elements of all four styles into a soft pastel palette. In 1983, he abandoned figurative work and began to focus on abstraction forming a technique that allowed greater reflexivity. Durieux’s works may be found in the permanent collections of numerous national museums including The Musée des Beaux Arts (Grenoble), the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire (Narbonne), the Centre d’Art Contemporaine, (Perpignan), and the Musée Carol-August, (Salzburg), among others. We are pleased to offer an elegant still-life from the middle period of this notable French Modernist.

Composition with a jar, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Located in Montfort l’Amaury, FR
Composition with a jar, oil painting by Pierre Coquet Reference number F488 Framed with a natural oak floated frame 48 x 70 x 2 cm (53 x 75 x 3,5 cm frame included) This work is painted with oil on a paper that is laid on a canvas and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. Stamp of the signature in the bottom right and stamp of workshop on the back. In this composition, the brushstrokes are thicker and the touches of white revive the overall effect, which has been treated in rough, earthy tones. An orange background can be seen underneath, lighting up the materials in places. The play of light completes the rendering of the modeling. In this painting, there's all the humility of a painter who wants to give life to these objects while remaining simple. Still lives are one of Pierre favourite subjects. Always in a very quiet atmosphere, with simple objects or alive nature. 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...
