CORTÈS Edouard Edouard Cortès ( Edouard León Cortès ), 1882 / 1969 ( French from a Spanish father ).
A post-impressionist painter and son of a renowned painter of the Spanish court (Antonio Cortés y Aguilar), he graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and held his first exhibition in 1902 at the Salon des Artistes Français, becoming a permanent member and exhibiting there every year. Cortès quickly specialized in urban landscapes and in particular representations of Paris. In 1907, he organized an auction of his Views of Paris at the Hôtel Drouot, an event that would earn him eternal success. In 1915, he received a silver medal at the Salon des artistes français and a gold medal at the Salon des indépendants. Cortès uses tinted colors such as red or yellow to represent apartments full of life or store signs illuminated at night. He plays on the meteorological effects and shows Paris from every angle; snowy, sunny, in winter, in summer, at dawn, at dusk, during the day, at night.
