Philippe Noyer was born in June of 1917 in Lyon, France. He studied at the Ecole des Roches, and afterwards Beaux Arts School of Lyon. He then moved to Paris where he studied at the Paul Colin School of Art and experienced Surrealism. His painting career took off in 1943 when he met Paris art dealer Emmanuel David, who put him in contract with the Drouant-David Gallery of Paris.
Noyer’s work quickly became one of the most sought after portraits in high society of Paris and London. The Drouant-David Gallery of Paris gave him his first solo show in 1947 that was met with great success. During his time with this gallery, he owed his abroad success particularly in the United States to Robert Goldstein, the former President of the 20th Century Fox Movie Company in 1949. Goldstein’s friend Samuel Goldwyn was also a fan of Noyer’s work, and made the artist’s name known on the west coast.
There is a variety with colors and subject in his pieces, but most carry the common theme of women accompanied by foliage of some sort. Flowers and plants weave into the piece, and sometimes animals such as leopards or big cats.
Currently his oil paintings and watercolors number over 2,000 displayed in private collections, museums, and galleries worldwide. less
