Commentaire d'expert : L'artiste est un coloriste comme  Robert Savary, il aime peindre la beauté de la nature (Paysages, animaux, fleurs, arbres…) mais il y intègre un peu de son caractère calme et mélancolique sans jamais être triste. La palette de l'artiste y est pour beaucoup, il ajoute une légère touche de noir à chaque couleur pour l'assombrir un peu, ce qui donne à ses sujets cette expressivité particulière. On y retrouve sans doute l'influence de son maître Edouard Goerg, lui-même élève de Maurice Denis et de Paul Sérusier. L'artiste peint au gré de ses voyages en France (Sud, Normandie, Bretagne, Haute Savoie, Corse…) et à l'étranger (Italie, Hollande et Espagne). L'artiste peint aussi la région parisienne où il travaille mais il a une tendresse particulière pour Menton, dont il peindra toutes les vues (maison d'artiste, le port, la plage, la vieille ville, les jardins, les monuments...) . Fervent participant à la fête de la musique de la ville, Edouard Righetti a peint à plusieurs reprises les musiciens devant la basilique Saint-Michel. Il peindra également la célèbre fête du citron, le carnaval de Menton. Dans un contexte où l'art abstrait prédomine, l'artiste semble parfois tenté par l'aventure et s'éloigne quelque peu de la réalité, se rapprochant parfois du style de Charles Lapicque tout en conservant cette palette de couleurs caractéristique. Lorsque la touche est plus légère, son style figuratif se rapproche de celui de se rapprochant parfois du style de Charles Lapicque tout en conservant cette palette de couleurs caractéristique. Lorsque la touche est plus légère, son style figuratif se rapproche de celui de se rapprochant parfois du style de Charles Lapicque tout en conservant cette palette de couleurs caractéristique. Lorsque la touche est plus légère, son style figuratif se rapproche de celui de Guy Bardone , autre artiste issu de la nouvelle école de Paris dite « jeune peinture ». Edouard Righetti est un artiste talentueux également connu pour ses estampes et notamment ses natures mortes, mais ses peintures de paysages sur papier sont d'une qualité indéniable. Ils donnent au spectateur le sentiment de découvrir des lieux parfois cachés et intimistes qui témoignent de l'attachement de l'artiste aux beautés de notre beau pays.

 

Biographie :Of Swiss origin, Born in Menton, the artist comes from a family of fresco painters who have lived in the Alpes-Maritimes since the 19th century. Influenced at a very young age by this artistic environment, the artist likes to tell how he sold his first painting. His father returning from the market then places the tomatoes in front of the soup tureen and Edouard borrows his father's colors to create a beautiful still life which will be sold in an exhibition to an American collector. It was in 1941 that he fled Menton for the eastern Pyrenees and studied at the fine arts of Montpellier the same year. From 1942 to 1946 he joined the School of Decorative Arts in Nice where he won the Ziem prize for painting and met the painter and engraver Jules Henri Lengrand. In 1950, his life was difficult: he lived in miserable housing, he was poorly paid and became a colony monitor for two months on the Ile d'Oléron. In 1947 he joined Edouard Goerg's studio to learn printmaking techniques. The same year, he entered the Beaux-Arts in Paris. In his free time, he enjoys crunching zoo animals. Between 1951 and 1953, he lived on rue du bac in Paris and the winter was so cold there that he burned more than 200 crumpled drawings in a ball. In addition, he scratches his canvases to create new compositions. In 1952 and 1953, he made several trips to the Channel coast and to Normandy in Dieppe, Étretat and the Chausey Islands. In 1953 he traveled to Rome, Florence and Pisa. That same year, he recreated the life-size frescoes of Lascaux and Altamira, under the patronage of Abbé Breuil, for the exhibition 40,000 Years of Modern Art at the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris. When he left Edouard Goerg's studio in 1954, he had already made many oils, drawings, watercolors, around 200 engravings (aquatints, etchings, drypoints, burins) and decided to settle in Fontenay-sous -Wood. He marries Andrée Saunier, a talented naive painter. The same year, he made a stay in Corsica where he composed studies of peasants, animals and landscapes. In 1954, he received a scholarship from the Maison Descartes in Amsterdam for the year 1955 allowing him to stay ten months in Amsterdam with his wife. On his return from Amsterdam in 1955, he set up a press in Fontenay-sous-Bois on which he made most of the trial prints and artists' proofs. From 1956 to 1957, he became a resident at the Casa Velásquez for two years (27th Fine Arts class) for his work at the 40,000 Years of Modern Art exhibition. His friend Jacques Reverchon was in the 26th Beaux-Arts class. In 1958, he returned to Fontenay-sous-Bois, where he painted and engraved the sadness of the suburbs. In 1959, he moved to Sannois with his family. He took part in the Salon du Trait in 1958, 1959 and from 1961 to 1965. In 1961, he received the Eugène Carrière prize. In 1963, he became a member of the Society of Painters, Engravers and Independent Lithographers. In 1964, he participated in the 47th exhibition of French Painters-Engravers. In May of the same year, he left Sannois and moved to Paris in his studio at n°5 rue Léon-Dierx. In 1968, he took part in the 46th Trait exhibition. On May 1, 1991, Édouard Righetti took part in the program À l'heure du pop on France Inter. On November 13, 1993, he took part in the program L'art et la manner on Radio Bleue. In 1998, he received the first prize for animal artist. He died in December 2001, and on December 20, 2001, José Artur in his program Le Pop-Club on France Inter presented an obituary introduction to Righetti: Édouard Righetti was a "great talent engraver", an "exceptional being", "extraordinary he had a "colossal technique" with a "richness of colors", he was also a friend of Caesar.
