Jean-Michel Coulon, 1920-2014 : Catalogue Raisonné

The painter Jean-Michel Coulon (1920-2014) decided at the age of 20, during a trip to the Alps, to devote himself entirely to painting. From the outset, his works were all abstract. During the post-war years he was introduced to artistic circles, including the Second School of Paris. At the age of 30, Coulon exhibited alone at the Jeanne Bucher gallery and the following year took part in a group exhibition in New York, before refusing almost all exhibition proposals.

Although oil painting represents the backbone of Jean-Michel Coulon's work, from the 2000s onwards he put his creativity at the service of shimmering collages.

This catalogue raisonné in three volumes lists the 900 paintings and collages of Jean-Michel Coulon. The first volume is devoted to his oil paintings, the second to his gouaches and collages, and the third to his early works.
