French artist Philippe Noyer (1917-1985) was born in Lyon. After a traditional course of study at the elite Ecole des Roches, Noyer enrolled in the Beaux Arts School of Lyon, before going to Paris to study at the Paul Colin School of Art & experience the whirlwinds of Surrealism first hand on Paris' Left Bank. Philippe Noyer started his painting career in 1943. That same year he met the famous Paris art dealer, Emmanuel David, who promoted world-known 'School of Paris' painters from 1943-1950. David immediately put Noyer on contract with the prestigious Drouant-David Gallery of Paris. Philippe Noyer soon became one of the most sought after portraitist of Paris & London high society. As his art matured, however, he put aside this career as a portraitist to devote himself entirely to the delicate, sophisticated, slim, long-limbed ladies who had progressively replaced children as his favorite subjects.
