Conducting International Authentication & Attribution Investigations into art believed to be by Edouard Cortes Edouard Leon Cortes
(French - 1882-1969)
The relatively modern French artist Edouard Cortès taught by his father, the Spanish painter Antonio Cortes. The child prodigy we know as Edouard Cortes, attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and at only 19 years of age back in 1901, had his first exhibition of paintings at the Salon des Artistes Francais in Paris to much admiration and great acclaim. But he is not necessarily an artist you would readily imagine is being faked internationally, but sadly, you would be quite wrong. Edouard Cortes however must count today as one of the most copied and faked artists of the past decade. His delightfully enigmatic post impressionist paintings of suburban and Parisian city life, painted showing the city in all weathers, both nocturnal and seasonal, are fine depictions of Paris life and extremely popular. Thus they are well received throughout the world and unlike many French artists, Edouard Cortes paintings are still relatively affordable for the art investor and the market values are still definitely on the rise, astonishingly so. Unfortunately, Cortes' style is not that unique and has been and still is relatively easily emulated. Remember, the easiest thing for a faker to do, be he artist or just an unscrupulous art dealer, is to simply add a valuable name, like Cortes or Galien-Laloue, Luigi Loir, or Jean Beraud's name to a pre-existing Parisian painting. Any work of art which vaguely resembles their own works and he is on his way. Another artist, Antoine Blanchard (1910-1988 also French) was very similar to Cortes in style and subject matter. So be cautious, as his works are less valuable than Cortes, that is until a Cortes signature suddenly appears on one of his! I remember the time when good quality legitimate Cortes works fetched only around 500 to 600 Euros apiece at auction and they were plentiful. After all, he was a very prolific painter and must have produced hundreds and hundreds of Paris street scene in his career. But suddenly the prices of his art started to rise and with that ever rising tide, up shot the values. But at the same time, up popped the fakers turning out new ones in profusion. Disturbingly, we are seeing an increasingly large number of fake Edouard Cortes works of art, often complete with an historical provenance linking them to what was formerly seen to be a respectable fine art dealership in California, USA. These are arriving quite regularly for us to investigate their authenticity, but years on since their original acquisition, having travelled through time via some very well respected American department stores indeed. But Cortes was not only faked in California it seems. Many other similarly questionable works of art signed simply 'Cortes' were likely passed on as his by his own art dealers. So caution is advised if you are offered one, or if you own one without knowing its true history and provenance, or if you are about or intend to invest in one. |

ABOUT A WORK OF ART DESCRIPTOR AND ITS TERMINOLOGY
*It is important to very clearly understand the auction terms that are used in any published descriptor and to be cautious of works that may just be created in the manner of the artist, or those which could be variants of the artists works of art that bear a signature or monogram. In this case as if they were defining the creations of the French artist Edouard Léon Cortès (1882 - 1969).
