James Coignard

I strike the canvas the way the way I lay a trembling hand on a beloved face. The gesture is the painter's scar.

These artworks, now sold or removed from our website, have been in our stock in the past. These pages will undoubtedly make it possible for some of you to associate an image with its title or the other way round, for others it will be a good time to discover more on such and such artist.

Stamp by James Coignard

fictionnal stamp

Pic

The publication of a postal stamp is often a homage paid by a nation to a place, an event, a remarkable cause or a character which count. The painters and other artists do not escape from this rule. Some are however "forgotten" of postal art. Here, gathered below (French or foreign), emitted stamps (206) or simple studies of stamp (224) in homage to the artists represented on our website. The first French stamp was emitted in 1849, England preceded us by ten years. There is often a share of voyage in this small form of shape paper. The stamp circulates, sails, flies away, it makes dream, then dream a little. M.C.

When the stamp is really emitted, the artist name is preceded of an asterisk (*). It is certain that we do not know each stamp emitted for such or such artist; do not hesitate with us to make known them!

A tribute to James Coignard

Sorry this section is only available in french for now.

Le peintre, graveur, James Coignard s’en est allé à l’âge de 82 ans, le 7 mars 2008. Il sera incinéré quelques jours plus tard au cimetière du Père Lachaise (Paris). Nous garderons de lui le souvenir d’une rencontre cannoise extrêmement amicale et chaleureuse. Toutes nos pensées vont aux siens, et particulièrement à son fils Simon. James Coignard aimait l’immensité de la mer, les horizons sans limite et la lumière de notre région ; les siens réunis, ces cendres furent dispersées au large de Cannes, aux rives des îles de Lérins. En son hommage, avec respect, nous déposons cette rose blanche au fil de l’eau.

"Il y a dans mon travail une logique dont je ne suis que l'intermédiaire manuel et momentané. Nos oeuvres sont les échos de notre corps à l'extérieur de nous même." - James Coignard

"Les peintures et l’œuvre gravé de James Coignard sont une aventure esthétique. Un jeu plastique dans lequel l’aspect destructif et fataliste est compensé par la spontanéité des émotions." - Johan Persson

Pic

"Il ne s'agit pas de faire des images qui se juxtaposent aux mots, qui ornent le texte. Il s'agit d'être en révolte. Révolte technique contre le texte, un combat en somme, en recherche de ma propre émotion. De ce combat naît une troisième chose qui n'est ni texte, ni illustration, mais qui est œuvre que le texte provoque en moi." - James Coignard
