| James
Coignard, French (1925 - )
Born in Tours, France in 1925, the abstract artist James Coignard
studied at the Ecole des Arts DÈcoratifs in Nice, and
later apprenticed under the well-known painter Marchand des Raux.
In both his mixed media on canvas and his works on paper,
James Coignard is known for his technical versatility. Coignard
achieves a deep, heavy texture as a distinctive trait in his
art.
The carborundum process of printmaking was developed by Henri
Goetz in the 1960's. Goetz taught Miro, Max Papart, Clave,
Coignard and others the use of carborundum for printmaking.
"The painter is, like everybody, witness of his time...
I focus in my paintings on the anguishes and agressions of
mankind by my gesture of anger, dynamism and also of hope."
