Albert Coste Abstract

Albert Coste (1895–1985) was a French painter whose lifelong devotion to the arts spanned painting, music, and poetry. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Marseilles and later influenced by Maurice Denis and Albert Gleizes, Coste’s work evolved from technically masterful figurative compositions to richly spiritual abstraction. His style bridges classical technique with modernist innovation, reflecting the major currents of 20th-century French art.
