EUGÈNE CORNEAU (1894-1976) Corneau was born on the 18th June 1894 in Vouzeron, but with his family hadmoved to Paris by 1901. His exhibiting career began in earnest in 1918, and he became a regular exhibitor at the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Tuileries. In the mid 1920’s he began a period of extended travel acrossNorth Africa including stays in Algeria. He held a great many soloexhibitions in France throughout his long career, and in 1937 he was given the honour of decorating the Pavillon du Berry-Nivernais at the Exposition Universelle. His exhibiting career was not limited the France however, indeed he had notable shows in Brussels, Alger, New York (in 1928 and 1938) and Tunis. He also presented work at the 1940 Venice Biennale. A full retrospective of his work was held at Saint-Jean de-Monts in 1975. Between1953 and 1962 he produced engravings for the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts d’Alger. He is perhaps best known for his landscape painting, particularly street scenes and the coasts of Brittany and Provence. He also painted the ports of France’s Atlantic coast. He painted a number of interior scenes that show a considerable debt to the Intimiste school of French painting. He was a long-standing friend of Marquet and was known to hold the work of the Nabis in high regard. Corneau died in Pontaubert in 1976.
