Charles Cobelle Painting Paris

French - American Artist Charles Cobelle Pairs Street Scene Painting on board. 1902 - 1994.
Cobelle was a modern French master of painting, lithography and a fine muralist, who was born in Alsace-Lorraine, France. He began studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and spending many hours working privately with Marc Chagall and Raoul Dufy. He is considered the last link to the great tradition of the Open Line School of Paris. His paintings are characterized by thin, descriptive line-work over broad patches of bold color. Many of his paintings were painted on canvas with mixed media - board, oils, acrylics, tempera, conte crayon, ink. Cobelle lived and painted in Paris until the late 1920s and established himself within the great tradition of the School of Paris. In the late 1920s, Cobelle moved to the United States, where his paintings were immediately sought after by galleries and private collectors alike. Cobelle became a U.S. citizen before the outbreak of World War II. In the late 1940s to 1950s, Cobelle lived in Westport, and later Ridgefield Connecticut until is death.
