c.1920

About the Item

Signed impressionist oil on panel still life circa 1920 by French painter Edouard Cortes. The work depicts a vase of autumnal coloured flowers placed on a wooden ledge in front of a mirror. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 15"x13" Unframed: 10"x8" Provenance: This work is accompanied by a photo certificate from Mme. Nicole Verdier under reference EC190228/HP/P-E-245 This work is included in Tome III of the Catalgue Raisonne of the work of Edouard Cortes by Mme. Nicole Verdier. Edouard Leon Cortes, the son of the painter Antonio Cortès, was sent to the front during World War I to sketch enemy positions. In civilian life, his base was in Lagny in the former studio of Cavallo-Peduzzi. Although he travelled extensively in France. Notably in Normandy, Brittany, the Champagne region and Savoy painting as he went. Cortès exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français (of which he became a member in 1907). The Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, the Autumn and Winter Salons, and the Salon des Artistes Indépendants. As a lifelong resident of Lagny, he also set up and presided over the Groupe de Lagny. Cortès was the recipient of numerous awards and distinctions. Including nomination in 1929 to the rank of Officier de l'Académie des Beaux-Arts, the award of the Croix d'Honneur as a Chevalier de l'Education Sociale (1931), and elevation to the rank of Chevalier of the Order des Arts et des Lettres. His work spans a number of genres - most notably his views of the city of Paris but perhaps his most sensitive works are those from Normandy and Brittany where he painted extensively - interiors and landscapes and his works from his home in the surroundings of Lagny to the east of Paris. His later work was executed primarily for the US market where he had an abundance of customers and galleries that clamoured for his paintings of Pairs - these are less refined than his earlier paintings but have equal value to collectors.

  • Fleurs au pot de gres rose - Fauvist Still Life Oil Painting by Charles Camoin
    By Charles Camoin
    Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
    Signed still life oil on canvas by French expressionist and fauvist painter Charles Camoin. The work depicts a bright bouquet of flowers in reds, yellows, blues and pinks in a stoneware vase. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 36"x28" Unframed: 29"x21" Provenance: Galerie Marcel Bernheim Exhibitied: Paris, Galerie Druet, March 1929, n°23 This work is included in the Archives Camoin and a certificate from Madame Grammont-Camoin is available on request Charles Camoin was the son of a paint manufacturer in Marseilles who died when Charles was six years old. His mother travelled extensively, absenting herself for long periods at a time, and Camoin's studies suffered accordingly. At 16, he enrolled at a commercial college in Marseilles, but also attended courses at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he was awarded a first prize for drawing and composition. In 1896, at the age of 17 (or in 1898 according to other, possibly more reliable sources), Camoin moved to Paris where he was admitted to Gustave Moreau's class at the École des Beaux-Arts, shortly before the latter's death. He soon left on his travels in the company of Albert Marquet - no doubt following Moreau's advice to 'go and paint buses', his recommendation to the two artists to search out their subject matter on the streets and in the cabarets of Paris. During his short time in Moreau's class Camoin made a number of lasting friendships, notably with artists who would go on to pioneer Fauvism: Henry Manguin, Georges Roualt and, in particular, Jean Puy and Henri Matisse, with whom he exchanged letters on a regular basis.In 1900, Camoin did his military service, first in Arles, where he painted compositions inspired by Van Gogh motifs, then in 1902 in Aix, where he frequently met with Cézanne, with whom Camoin maintained a life-long correspondence and whose advice and counsel he cited repeatedly. In 1903, Camoin exhibited for the first time - at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants in Paris. The following year (1905), he met Claude Monet (at Cézanne's instigation and, appropriately perhaps, underneath Giverny's Nympheas); he then held his first solo exhibition at the Berthe Weill Gallery in Paris. In 1905, Camoin exhibited alongside the 'Animals' at that year's Salon d'Automne, although it must be said that he did not share the graphic and chromatic violence of a Matisse or a Derain...

  • Vase in the Window (Impressionist Floral Still Life Painting of Pink Peonies)
    By David Konigsberg
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Vase in the Window (Impressionist Floral Still Life of Magenta Pink Peony Flowers in a Vase Against an Off-White Window Scene) by David Konigsberg oil on panel 50 x 36 x 1.5 inches no frame required - painting is wired on reverse for easy installation Signed by the artist, verso This painting is an exquisite example of the artist's unique ability to capture the very whimsical side of nature. Widely known for painting expansive views of the Hudson Valley where the artist often embarks on extensive hiking trails, Konigsberg also takes to painting more intimate and commonplace household objects. A coffee pot, salt and pepper shaker, or as in this case, a simple bouquet of long stemmed pink peonies careening over the side of a green vase; his use of oil washes capture both fluidity and structure. The fanciful treatment of the flowers calls to mind French Impressionist Toulouse Latrec...
