Edouard Cortès ( Edouard León Cortès ), 1882 / 1969 ( French of a Spanish father )
Son of a famous Spanish court painter ( Antonio Cortés y Aguilar ), he graduated from the National School of Fine Arts, and held his first exhibition in 1902 at the French Artists Fair, becoming a permanent member of it and for which he exhibits every year. Cortès quickly specialized in urban landscapes and in particular the representations of Paris. In 1907, he organized an auction of his Paris’ Views at the Drouot Hotel, an event that would bring him eternal success. In 1915, he received a silver medal at the French Artists Fair and a gold medal at the Independents Art Fair. Cortès uses tinted colors such as red or yellow to represent living apartments or store signs illuminated at night. He plays on the weather effects and thus shows Paris in all its aspects ; snowy, sunny, in winter, in summer, at dawn, at dusk, by day and by night.
