About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Ph. Noyer' for Philippe Henri Noyer (French, 1917-1985), inscribed, 'Paris' and dated 1959. After a traditional education at the elite Ecole des Roches, Philippe Noyer enrolled in the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon. Next he moved to Paris, where he worked in decorative arts and advertising until 1943 when he officially started his painting career. That same year, Noyer met the famed Parisian art dealer, Emmanuel David, who would promote his work and career. In 1947, Noyer held his first one-man show at the Drouant-David Gallery in Paris. In 1949, the gallery consigned twenty of Noyer's paintings to an American art dealer who had agreed to organize an exhibition of them in the United States. However the American dealer sold the paintings at cost, in order cover a gambling debt, to Robert Goldstein, the former President of the 20th Century Fox movie company. Goldstein was so pleased with his purchase that he distributed the art to his friends, including Samuel Goldwyn, who, in turn, made Philippe Noyer's name known on the West Coast. These events led to a lifelong friendship between Noyer and Goldstein. In the years that followed, Noyer was commissioned to paint portraits of many celebrities including Elizabeth Taylor, Dinah Shore, and Jean Wallace. In the sixties, Noyer put aside portraiture in favor of painting delicately stylized, sophisticated, slim, long-limb ladies who were his favorite subject. Throughout his career, Philippe Noyer's art seems to have experienced every current of modern art without being influenced by any one in particular, almost lazily accepting traditional disciplines. Modernist yet slightly Surrealist, he compensated for the rigor of his method by the remarkable freedom of his subjects. Noyer intends for the elements he uses in his paintings - the women, the monuments, the animals and the flowers - to come alive under the brush, which translates them in strictly realist terms in compositions that are the fruits of his fantasy and intellectual or literary reminiscences. Paul Guth, French humorist and journalist, was inspired to write a series of prose poems about his work, which was published in 1951 together with a study of the artist.
