Late 20th century carborundum engraving on handmade paper by French artist, James Coignard. In the late 1960s, Coignard exploited in particular the artistic medium of etching in carborundum (first created by Henri Goetz) . It was his tireless experimentation in the search for a new artistic medium that led him to the further development of etching on carborundum, a very time-consuming process. At the start of his career, Coignard became part of the 'realists' of the École de Paris . Although he was always searching for a way out of the modern art genre, his work always had a modern art vibe. Marcelin Pleynet , in 'James Coignard and the memory of signs', writes: “the work of James Coignard presents all the characteristics of a work belonging to the space of modern art […] the work of James Coignard seems curiously silent as soon as we try to compare it, to think about it, to understand it according to such or such conventional data." That is its essence. In 1948 , James Coignard discovered the Côte d'Azur and decided to take courses at the School of Decorative Arts in Nice. He then also received advice from Louis Marchand des Raux...

James Coignard, painter, ceramist, sculptor and etcher, was born in Tours in 1925. At the age of 23 and after a brief career in the French administration, he discovered the landscapes of the French Riviera and decided to study at Arts décoratifs in Nice. Four years later, he quit his job at the administration to commit himself entirely to his artistic career. The encounter with Paul Hervieu in 1950 was decisive. His collaboration with gallery Hervieu made him known in artistic circles, nationally and internationally and then particularly in Scandinavia. At the beginning of his career, art critics labeled James Coignard as a member of Ecole de Paris. Soon, his painting and ceramic distanced themselves from those of his colleagues and he set out in his own creative direction. At the beginning of the sixties, he started to work with glass but the technical turning point occurred in 1968 when his friend Henri Goetz discovered a new etching technique, using carborundum. Etching then became central in his work. At the same time, his career took off internationally. He traveled a lot, especially to Sweden and USA where he lived for a few years. In 1978, James Coignard participated in the creation of the etching studio Pasnic, with which he started a long collaboration. During the eighties, he shared his time between Paris and the French Riviera and took an interest in artist’s books and publishing issues. He exhibited now all over the world, and was acknowledged as one of the greatest painter-etchers of his time. Until his death in 2008, James Coignard was a prolific painter, sculptor and etcher. He left behind an immense body of work.
