Françoise Juvin

She entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in 1941 where she met several artists such as Jacques Truphémus, André Cottavoz, Jean Fusaro, and Pierre Coquet who would become her husband in 1948.

With the latter, in 1945 she joined "Sanzism", a term coined by the painter Philibert-Charrin to characterize a movement bringing together some former students of the Beaux-Arts in Lyon. Not wanting to belong to any artistic movement whose titles end with "-ism" (impressionism, cubism, etc.), they choose to name their group "Sanzism", literally Without "-ism".

In the 1950s, the couple moved to Paris, where Françoise taught plastic arts. She thus unites her two activities, she is both a painter and a teacher. In 1960, the Romanet gallery, formerly located on avenue Matignon, exhibited works by Françoise Juvin for several years.

The landscapes, the places chosen by Françoise take shape on the canvas, during the trip undertaken in several regions of France, in the North, in Tréport, in Les Sables d'Olonne and especially in the south, Collioure, Argelès, Nice and Cannes . But Paris also remains one of his favorite subjects, the zinc roofs; the typical facades of beautiful buildings, are for her a pretext to use cheerful and luminous colors.

Since 2007, it has been present in the collection of the Paul Dini Museum in Villefranche-sur-Saône.

Françoise Juvin died in January 2011 following a long illness.
