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substantial amount of previously unpublished material on the artist who was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. ______________________________________________________
