The carborundum process of printmaking was developed by Henri Goetz in the 1960's. Goetz taught Miro, Max Papart, Clave, Coignard
and others the use of carborundum for printmaking."The painter is, like everybody, witness of his time...
I focus in my paintings on the anguishes and agressions of mankind by my gesture of
anger, dynamism and also of hope." James Coignard, 1995 |
