ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Emile Courtin (1923-1997)
If you lean toward contemporary or modern art, we are betting that Emile Courtin will delight you! Considered one of the best French Modernist painters, Courtin was born in Authon-du-Perche at a transformational time in European art. He studied at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris under the famed Monsieur Jean Dupas, whose work defined the Art Deco movement. Courtin graduated from the important Art School-Casa de Velazquez in Madrid, where he was undoubtedly influenced by the Spanish art scene as well. He went on to win numerous prizes and awards at the different Paris Art Salons upon his return to France. Celebrated internationally, his daring use of color was and proportion was riotous and stands out as audacious even today. The color of his work can only be appreciated with the naked eye! He exhibited at the Gallerie Cardo-Matignon in Paris and the Musee de Nogent-le Rotrou among others. Today the works of this superb and singular visionary are present in numerous important private collections as well as museums around the world, such as the Musee des Beaux Arts du Canada and the Musee du Chateau Saint Jean. We are fortunate to have curated a few of his pieces, the first is shown here, other two are on their way to the states at this time.
