Pierre Coquet Abstract

Pierre Coquet (born 1926, South France) was a French painter associated with the post-war "Sanzisme" movement, which rejected strict adherence to any single artistic style. Deeply influenced by abstraction yet rooted in figuration, his work often explored everyday subjects like cityscapes, beaches, and still lifes with sincerity and emotional depth. Coquet’s art reflects his modest, introspective personality, aiming to capture the inexpressible through compositions that are both structured and quietly poetic. Oil on paper, laid on canvas.
