All his life he was "... true epicurean, very attracted to women in the glow of their youth, lovers of Provence which magnifies the light colors, its serene and optimistic view of life allowed him to create a voluptuous and fresh paint. His taste for feminine beauty must not make us forget that Cornu was a talented portraitist and an excellent painter of still lifes, mostly of flowers and landscapes. In fact, in all these genres, the only reason of interest to him was the beauty that has always discover to idealize and forever ... Like Bonnard, he seems to have painted only for the joy of painting but also wished to remember to show and share happy moments."

From the beginning of his career, it was a constant concern of Georges d'Espagnet to assert his originality. His studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, did not last very long, for he wanted immediate independence and decided to follow courses in the private academies of Montparnasse. In about 1900, he became acquainted with Maurice Denis, Bonnard and Vuillard, and his collaboration with Denis led to a renewal of religious art in France.
In 1903, d'Espagnet was one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne, and was appointed professor in charge of studios at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1934. He illustrated a number of books: Rémy de Gourmont's Evil Prayers ( Oraisons mauvaises) (1896), The Saints of Paradise ( Les Saintes du paradis) (1898), Simone (1907), Sistine ( Sixtine) (1922); Alphonse Daudet's The Immortal ( L'Immortel) (1930); André Gide's The Pastoral Symphony ( La Symphonie pastorale); Francis Jammes' Clearings in the Sky ( Chairières dans le ciel) (1948).
D'Espagnet belongs to the group of artists who made the Courrier Français so successful. The drawings of his which are published in it are strongly expressive and some bear comparison with the designs of the great Renaissance masters. He also contributed to L'Image. He often placed cheerful nudes in a landscape, reminding us that, though he moved away from the Fauves, he retained their freedom of colour and arabesque. He painted many portraits, including those of Albert André, André Barbier...

About the Artist: Pierre Cornu was born on November 16, 1895 in Salon de Provence, France. From a well-to-do, oil and soap trader family, Cornu had a pampered and carefree childhood. Drawing and color attracted him at a young age. Cornu studied at the celebrated Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and studied under Emile Othon Friesz, a French artist of the Fauvist movement, and François Desnoyer, a French Impressionist and Modern painter. Cornu was lucky enough to be able to dedicate his entire life to his true passion of painting. His paintings were featured in all the great Parisian salons, exhibiting at Auguste Chabaud and René Seyssaud in Marseille and at the 1933 Salon d’Automne in Paris.
Financial concerns forced him to emigrate to Morocco from 1939-1945. There, he started a new life as a photographer, but continued to paint. He perfected his art in an abundance of beautiful colors, echoing oriental tapestries...
