Edouard Cortes (1882 - 1969), of French and Spanish ancestry, was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, a few miles east of Paris. His paintings express the romance, energy and charm of old Paris through his masterful application of bold brush strokes and intriguing colours. His works display the profound knowledge he held of perspective and composition. The viewer's eye is most often caught by fascinating details - the play of lights on wet pavement, shadows on streets and glowing windows and street lamps.
