에두아르 레옹 코르테스(Edouard Leon Cortes), 프랑스, 화가, 1882-1969
'에두아르 레옹 코르테스'는 파리 근처에서 태어났으나, 집안은 원래 스페인의 예술가 가문이었습니다. 할아버지는 세비야성당에서 스테인드 글라스 작업으로 이름난 장인이었고, 아버지는 스페인 궁정화가였답니다.
아버지가 파리 만국박람회에 참석했다가 예술가 마을에 눌러살게 되었고, 여기서 태어나고 자란 '코르테스'는 파리의 여러 거리를 서정적인 분위기로 그렸답니다.
궂은날과 맑은 날, 낮과 밤 등 다양한 환경에서의 파리 풍경을 특색 있게 그려, '파리의 회화 시인'이라고 불렸습니다.
평화주의자인 작가는, 2차대전 이전에 역사를 멈춰두고 전쟁 전 파리의 아름다움을 간직하고 싶어, 그림 속에다 마차를 그리고 1930년대의 패션을 그린답니다.
About Him
Edouard Léon Cortès (1882–1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poete Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting" because of his diverse Paris cityscapes in a variety of weather and night settings.
Cortes was born on August 6, 1882, in Lagny-sur-Marne, about twenty miles east of Paris. His father, Antonio Cortés, had been a painter for the Spanish Royal Court.
In 1914 Cortès married Fernande Joyeuse, with whom he had a daughter in 1916.
Although Cortès was a pacifist, when war came close to his native village he was compelled to enlist in a French Infantry Regiment at the age of 32. As a contact agent Cortès was wounded by a bayonet, evacuated to a military hospital, and awarded the Croix de Guerre. After recovery he was the reassigned to use his artistic talent to sketch enemy positions. Later in life his convictions led him to refuse the Légion d'Honneur from the French Government. In 1919 he was demobilized.
His wife had died in 1918 and he soon married his sister-in-law Lucienne Joyeuse.
Cortès lived a simple life amid a close circle of friends. He died on November 28, 1969, in Lagny, and has a street named in his honor.
At the age of 17, Edouard began his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first exhibition in 1901 brought him immediate recognition. Cortès stressed his independence. Once, in responding to a journalist who asked if he was a student of Luigi Loir, he replied in pun: "Non, seul élève de moi-même." ("No, a student of myself only.")
His works were first exhibited in North America in 1945 and he subsequently achieved even greater success. In his last year of life he was awarded the prestigious Prix Antoine-Quinson from the Salon de Vincennes.
On November 30, 2000, four paintings by Cortès were recovered in Kalispell, Montana, following an eight-month investigation conducted by the FBI's San Francisco Division. The recovered paintings were stolen in 1988 during a burglary at the Simic Gallery in Carmel, California.
In 2008, a lost Cortès painting of a Paris street scene was discovered amongst donated items at a Goodwill Industries thrift store in Easton, Maryland. After an alert store manager noticed that it was a signed original, the painting was subsequently auctioned for $40,600 (US) at Sotheby's.
