Pierre Cornu (1895-1996)
A delightful painting of a seated woman by the master of colour, light and the female form, Pierre Cornu.
Pierre Cornu was born in Salon-de-Provence, commonly known as Salon, a commune located northwest of Marseille in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d''Azur, Southern France.
He was influenced by the Fauvists in particular by the painting of Cézanne and Bonnard. Fauvism can be seen as an extreme extension of post-impressionism.
Like Bonnard he painted only for the joy of painting and to create frozen moments of happiness in time.
He exhibited regularly with René Auguste Chabaud and Seyssaud in Marseille.
Condition
