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 the art of painting was passed down from generation to generation.
In the 1930s, he took over the studio of his uncle, a theater set designer.
This spacious studio allowed him to create stage sets; he then turned his attention to easel painting.
He quickly found his niche in the Provençal painting tradition, with his scenes of fishermen.
His bold and colorful paintings are enriched by a beautiful textural quality born of his mastery of the brush and, above all, the palette knife.
His reputation as a painter of Provence spread, particularly to Canada, where he was a member of the Royal Academy of Painting in Montreal.
