Collection: Goujaud Anne
(Neuchâteau 1954)
Diplomacy in engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts in Reims in 1978, Anne Goujaud is a French artist who lives and works in Nogent-sur-Marne, at the Smith-Lesouëf Foundation. Her artistic research moves between painting and art graphics, with a coherence of vision that traverses different techniques without ever betraying itself.
Her references range from Delaunay to Matisse, from Calder to Miró, from Chillida to Le Corbusier, masters of color and form who share with her the belief in joy as an aesthetic category: “My work is joyful, full of imagination, precise... It tends towards the clear, the bright, the new. Nature is always present in its process of transformation and in its geometric constructions.”
In recent years, Goujaud has focused her creative expression on monotype: the process originates from the engraving of natural elements (leaves and shapes taken from her garden) and develops through successive collages of hand-inked Japanese papers. More passes under the press transform these layers into a unique and unrepeatable work.

From paper to scenography to inhabit light and matter
The work of Anne Goujaud does not stop at paper, but opens up to different fields and sectors that remain, for her, another way to inhabit light and matter.
In 2019, for example, four rugs published by Codimat in Paris transported her chromatic world into textile design and over the years she has collaborated on projects of scenography for theater and fashion.
Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, a long stay in Africa led her to animate the workshops of the Cultural Centers of N’Djamena and Brazzaville and to participate in the reinstallation of the National Museum of Chad: experiences that amplified her view on color and on the forms of the natural world.
Goujaud's works are present in public and private collections, including the FRAC Limousin and the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne. She regularly exhibits in France and abroad: among the most significant events, the exhibition at the Studio Théâtre of the Comédie Française in Paris (2002), the Musée de Rentilly in Marne et Gondoire (2025), and her presence at international fairs such as ART Wynwood in Miami, the Affordable Art Fair in Hamburg and Brussels, and print salons in Europe and the United States, from Madrid to New York, from Krakow to Paris.
