Attributed to Daniel CORDIER (1920-2020) - Lot 17
Attributed to Daniel CORDIER (1920-2020) Cubist composition with coffee pot, 1946 Oil on canvas, annotated on reverse "August 11, 1946, La Grange". 46 x 33 cm Dirt Provenance: Daniel Cordier collection, Paris In the third volume of his memoirs Alias Caracalla, Amateur d'art, recently published by Gallimard (2024), Daniel Cordier confesses to having considered a career as a painter [pp. 46,47]. It was in an isolated farmhouse he rented in Courcelles-lès-Gisors in the Oise region, under the influence of his friend Jean Delpech, that he tried his hand at brushwork. The emotion and satisfaction he felt in front of his first canvas, a chair in the spirit of Van Gogh, encouraged him to pursue this exhilarating adventure: "Yet this is how painting began to occupy me. I did other still lifes [...] and a whole series of self-portraits. Finally, I had found my vocation: I decided to become a painter. A vocation that would soon be abandoned after a few courses at La Grande Chaumière in Yves Brayer's studio, where he met Bernard Réquichot.
