Edouard Cortès
CATALOGUE RAISONNE OF ARTWORKS
Volume I
Author : Nicole Verdier
This first catalogue presents the life and
painted works of Edouard Cortès
until 1940; it gathers chronologically a
substantial amount of previously
unpublished material on the artist who was
acclaimed both in Europe and
the United States during his lifetime.
Articles by art columnists of the day have
made it possible to highlight
the artist’s very personal innate and acquired
talents; the previous generation
of painters; his active role in sharing his
belief that
“My origins and my life are
in painting”
Edouard Cortès was born in France on 1882.
His father, who was of an aristocratic
lineage of painters and academics
from Spanish Andalusia, passed on to him the
precepts of harmony
that unite Nature with Man.Brought
up among painters, drawers,
engravers, poets, and writers at the end of the
nineteenth century,
by the early twentieth century he asserted the beginnings
of a poetic
pictorial work that he improved, throughout his life.
