Pierre Coquet – Abstract Composition Reference number A256 Framed with a natural oak floated frame painted in black 34 x 55 cm frame included (29 x 50 cm without frame) This work is painted with oil on a paper that is mounted on a board and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. Stamp of the signature in the bottom right Pierre was very sensitive to abstract paintings. He did a lot of abstract works melting colors and shapes in different atmosphere and style. Nevertheless he could come back to figuration and again to abstraction with no precise period of time. Abstract paintings by Pierre Coquet represent a large part of his production. The constant search for balance between shapes and colors as well as his passion for Nicolas de Staël, André Lanskoy, Alfred Mannessier… takes him on different paths from what we know of him. His way of painting is strong and thoughtful, the lines stretch out and the harmonious touches, applied with sobriety, reveal a great sense of color. 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...

Title: Pencil Classical Draped Male Figure Study Signed Rouvet French School Medium: Pencil on paper, unframed Size: 12 x 8.75 inches (height x width) Signature: Signed lower right Rouvet Provenance: private collection Condition: Fair vintage condition. Heavy water staining and surface abrasion particularly across centre and lower half of sheet. Noticeable foxing, surface dirt and areas of paper thinning. Edges worn with small tears and losses, especially upper and lower margins. Paper heavily toned and structurally fragile in places. Image remains legible but overall condition is distressed. Description: A mid century French School pencil classical figure study, signed lower right Rouvet, depicting a seated male figure draped in classical attire. The composition reflects the academic tradition of copying antique sculpture and allegorical subjects, central to European atelier training. Executed in graphite pencil on artists paper, the drawing demonstrates controlled line work and structured cross hatching. The musculature of the torso and arm is articulated through layered pencil shading, while the drapery is defined with diagonal hatching that creates tonal depth and movement. The facial features are stylised yet expressive, suggesting reference to classical statuary or Renaissance inspired models often studied in academic settings. Graphite pencil allows for precision and clarity of contour, giving the figure a sculptural quality despite the minimal background. Such works are sought after by collectors of classical male figure drawings...

The use of red chalk allows for expressive contour lines combined with soft tonal shading, emphasising musculature, posture, and natural gesture. Executed on French academy drawing...
