Presentation
James Coignard (1925-2008) was a well-known French artist/printmaker, recognized for his colorful and geometric abstractions as well as his exceptional carborundum prints. The artist's strong interest in mathematics is evident in all of his paintings and prints. These elegant, rich, tactile prints are made on thick cotton fiber paper with a rough, organic, visible texture that must be seen in person to fully appreciate. Coignard studied at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Nice and was later apprenticed to the painter Marchand des Raux. After developing a relationship with Galerie Hervieu in Nice in the 1950s, Coignard began to gain notoriety. In the early 1960s he began working with glass. In 1986, his friend Henri Goetz discovered a new engraving technique using carborundum, marking an evolution in his technique. Distinguishing himself as a talented painter, sculptor and printmaker, James eventually began exhibiting internationally. His works are now part of numerous corporate and private collections, as well as more than 20 museums, including the Guggenheim in New York and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
