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...

Country landscape - Emilio Pergola Italia 2006 - Oil on canvas cm.50x130 Pergola's works reveal the touch of antiquity that recalls the past where shapes and colors are happily combined. A well-harmonized painting that draws inspiration from the paintings of the French master Leon Augustin Lhermitte. Lhermitte preferred to portray rural scenes and the peasants at work, so much so that he was called "the painter of the reapers". In this beautiful oil on canvas we admire some scenes of life in the fields, some women work while others prepare their lunch. In each painting, Pergola observes the world with deep care, outlining the most important values, the essence and the cosmic symbolism of nature. Pergola's creative technique is a touch of art, its rural landscapes, cottages, its beloved animals, such as horses and cows...
