Fortuné CAR 1905/1970:
Fortuné Car was born in 1905 in Marseille and died in 1970.
A renowned Provençal artist, born into a family where painting was passed down from generation to generation. In the 1930s, he took over his uncle's workshop, a theater set designer.
This large workshop allowed him to create sets, and he then turned to easel painting. He quickly found his niche in the Provençal style, with his Scenes of fishermen.
His strong and colorful painting is enriched by a beautiful texture born from his mastery of the brush and especially the palette knife.
His image as a painter of Provence was exported, particularly to Canada where he was a member of the Royal Academy of Painting of Montreal.
