| Limas (Rhône) 1926
Pierre Coquet attended the School of Fine Art in Lyon and was a founding
member of a group of young painters formed around WWII that called themselves
Noism, or Sanzisme in French, and was also known as the Lyon School of New
Figuration.
The painter Paul Philibert-Charrin addressed the press after the
group’s first successful salon: “What we are after is a salon for people under
thirty. We belong to no school. Our only principle is to paint in the light,
with allegiance to no technique.”
His work includes “Assemblies of objects” that look back to the work of
Morandi, the streets and roofs of Paris, beach scenes and self -portraits that
reflect an intense inner reflection and analysis of the soul.
