Biography

Philippe Noyer (1917-1985) Philippe Noyer's art has always remained quite unique. The elements he uses in his paintings - the women, the monuments, the animals and the flowers - come alive under the brush which translates them in strictly realist terms in compositions that are the fruits of his fantasy. Like in the paintings of any artist, there are pet themes and objects, however, they seem to recur as if they are good luck charms.
