1914
1916
In 1914 Cortès married Fernande Joyeuse, with whom he had a daughter, Jacqueline Simone, in 1916.
The depiction of a woman with a child is repeated throughout his work, a possible reference to Joyeuse and Jacqueline.
Although Cortès was a pacifist, when war came close to his native village he was compelled to enlist in a French Infantry Regiment at the age of 32.
Sent to the front lines, Cortès was wounded by a bayonet, evacuated to a military hospital, and awarded the Croix de Guerre.
After recovery he was reassigned to use his artistic talent to sketch enemy positions.
Later in life his convictions led him to refuse the Légion d'Honneur from the French Government.
1919
In 1919 he was demobilized.
1918
His wife died in 1918, and the following year he married his sister-in-law, Lucienne Joyeuse.
Cortès lived a simple life amid a close circle of friends.
He died on November 26, 1969, in Lagny, and has a street named in his honour.
At the age of 17, Cortès began his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
1901
His first exhibition in 1901 brought him immediate recognition.
Cortès stressed his independence.
