Roger De la Corbiere (French, 1893 - 1974)
He was born in Vouneuil-sur-Vienne, France, in 1893, July 22, and died in Paris at the age of 81 on Sept 3, 1974. On August 2, 1922, he married Marthe Germaine Page (1891-1975) in Paris. He had two daughters.
He was influenced by Paul Signac (1863-1935), who helped him to start in La Rochelle at the beginning. He was a friend of Maurice Denis (1870-1943) and of other " Art-Sacre" painters in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Jean Souverbie (1891-1981) was one of their friends, as well as Lucie Tullat.
Roger de la Corbiere is most noted for his paintings of coastal scenes with emphasis on the sea and the effects of light thereon, even if he painted snowed mountains (French and Swiss Alps). In France, he exhibited at the Galerie Katia Granoff (Quai Conti, in Paris, as well as in Honfleur) and at the Galerie Hautecoeur (rue de Rivoli, Paris); he exhibited also at the Salon des Artistes IndГ©pendants, Salon d'Automne and Salon National des Beaux Arts.
Several of his paintings were acquired by the French State in 1925, and are included in the collections of the families of the Maharaja de Kaarpoutala, Comte de Tocqueville, Professor Marion, Andrei Gromyko and the USSR Embassy.
