CORTÈS Edouard Edouard Cortès (Edouard León Cortès), 1882/1969 (French from a Spanish father).

Post-Impressionist painter and son of a renowned painter of the Spanish court (Antonio Cortés y Aguilar), he graduated from the National School of Fine Arts, and had his first exhibition in 1902 at the Salon des artistes français, becoming a permanent member and for which he exhibits 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 of French Artists 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 meteorological effects and thus shows Paris from every angle; snowy, sunny, winter, summer, dawn, dusk, day, night.
