Paul Wonner was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1920, and after his early art education set out for California in 1937. He settled in Oakland, where he attended the California College of Arts and Crafts. His art school experience provided Wonner with basic drawing and painting techniques. He graduated from CCAC in 1941 and was soon drafted into the United States Army. During his service, stationed in San Antonio, Texas, he continued his pursuit of art and even set up a small local studio. He was discharged in 1946 and immediately headed for New York City to continue his artistic career. During the Abstract Expressionist movement in the 1940s, Wonner worked as a commercial artist in New York City. To satisfy his interest in art, he studied at the Art Students League and attended lectures at Robert Motherwell's studio, where he was exposed to other artists, critics and writers. He returned to California in 1950 to attend the University of California, Berkeley. At UC Berkeley, he was influenced by the elements of Cubism. In 1957, he joined a group of eleven other artists for an exhibition called Contemporary Bay Area Figurative Painting, at the Oakland Museum. Wonner established a studio in San Francisco in 1960, where he continued to focus on his developing figurative style. During the 1960s, his paintings dealt with individual objects arranged in a setting. He accepted a teaching position at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1968 and went on to teach in various locations in the Los Angeles area. He settled in San Francisco in 1976. Wonner died April 23, 2008, in San Francisco, California.

EDOUARD LÉON CORTÈS French 1882 - 1969 PLACE DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE signed "EDOUARD CORTÈS." (lower right) oil on canvas 19-3/4 x 25-1/2 inches (50 x 64.5 cm.) framed: 27-3/4 x 33-3/8 inches (70 x 84.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Collector, Madrid An elegant night view of the Parisian Republic Square, with amazing light effects that catch us. This work executed based on brushstrokes of long and safe strokes that make the forms vibrate with vivid color. Parisian nightlife is trapped in this corner of Paris. The monumental sculpture that symbolizes freedom and that presides over the square serves as a reference behind the tram between a light chiaroscuro. Meanwhile, the effervecent and lively life of the cafes that surround it vibrate strongly with its bright lights. Èdouard León Cortés (1882–1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting" because of his diverse Paris cityscapes in a variety of weather and night settings. Cortes was born on August 6, 1882, in Lagny-sur-Marne, about twenty miles east of Paris. His father, Antonio Cortés, had been a painter for the Spanish Royal...
