Description

Octavio (Oreste) Cortazzo - An Italian born painter and etcher, Octavio (Oreste) Cortazzo was an artist of genre scenes and character studies. He studied art in Paris, under Bonnat, and frequently exhibited at the Paris Salons. In 1889 he was awarded a medal for his art from the Exposition Universelle. Octavio Cortazzo also traveled and worked in Spain and Italy. Les Buveurs shows Octavio Cortazzo's art at its best. Waistcoats and bottles are cast recklessly aside as more and more alcohol is imbibed. The expressions on all three characters' faces as they hail as passer-by are done with an obvious touch as mastery.
