Pierre Cordier

Born in Brussels in 1933. In 1956, Pierre Collignon invented the 'chemogram', which combines the physical properties of paint (varnish, wax, oil) with the chemistry of photography without using a camera. In 1965, Cordier was appointed lecturer at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre in Brussels. In 2007, a retrospective of his work under the title «Cinquante ans du Chimigramme» (50 Years of the Chemogram) was held at the Photography Museum in Charleroi.
