James Coignard
Born in 1925 in Tours, France, Coignard studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Nice and then as an apprentice to the painter Marchand des Raux. Coignard is most recognized for his primary colours, sweeping gestures and extraordinary textures. Curiously, his recent incision drawings are both figurative and monochromatic, revealing a wide range of expression – from boldly aggressive to profoundly subtle. His museum credentials are extensive and include the Bibliotheque Bationale, Paris, British Museum, London, Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, Dublin Museum, Ireland, Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Museum of San Diego, Highway Museum of Art, Atlanta, New Orleans Museum of Art, and the National Museum of Luxembourg.
