Oil On Canvas Pierre Cornu

Sublime oil portrait of the French painter Pierre Cornu (1895-1996). Oil on canvas. It is in perfect condition. Pierre Cornu was born on November 16, 1895 in Salon de Provence. He had a pampered and happy childhood during which his attraction to drawing and color manifested itself quite quickly. He would have the chance, throughout his life, to be able to devote himself fully to his true passion, painting. His paintings would often be honored in all the great Parisian salons. He exhibited regularly with Auguste Chabaud and René Seyssaud in Marseille. All his life, he was a "...true epicurean, very attracted to women in the brilliance of their youth, in love with Provence whose light magnifies the colors, his optimistic and serene vision of existence allowed him to create a voluptuous and gentle painting". Comments collected in the book "cornu, la volupté sereine" by Jean Perreau published by Galerie Michel Estades. Dimensions: 37 X 44.5cm, with frame 57 X 64.5cm.
