C. 1950'S
About the Item
Artist/ School: Albert Coste (French 1896-1985), signed lower right.
Born 8 November 1895, in Marseilles; died 22 August 1985, in Marseilles.
Albert Coste studied concurrently at the École des Beaux-Arts and the Conservatoire de Musique in Marseilles from 1909, which were at that time in the same building in Carli Square. In 1912-1913 he obtained his own studio. He was pre-selected for the Prix de Rome competition in 1914, which was interrupted due to World War I. After an accident in 1916, two of his fingers were amputated. He renounced a career as a cellist and devoted himself definitively to painting. He moved to Paris to study in the studio of Fernand Cormon. In 1919 he was introduced to the restoration of paintings and then worked in that field. That same year he met Maurice Denis, who offered him some teaching at the Art Sacré (Sacred Art) studios. In 1922 he returned to the south of France, settling in Aix-en-Provence. He became a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence in 1935. In 1941-1942 in St-Rémy-de-Provence, he met Albert Gleizes, with whom he would maintain close ties until his death. In 1946 he set up a painting studio at the École des Beaux-Arts.
Coste was an excellent technical painter and a highly cultivated man for whom painting, poetry and music (which he continued to practice) were the raison d'être of his life. His work may be divided into three main parts, which sometimes overlap. In his youth he treated an array of different subjects, demonstrating his technical mastery and the extent of his gifts. From 1919 his meeting with Maurice Denis strongly oriented and influenced his work towards more ambitious compositions, such as his Bathers of 1924 and 1933, and his Judgement of Paris. After meeting Albert Gleizes, whose personality, vast artistic knowledge and spiritual influence greatly impressed him, Albert Coste underwent a total reassessment. He first painted still-lifes and various subjects in a vein similar to that of Gauguin and the Nabis. He then resolutely turned towards Abstraction, painting compositions very similar to Gleizes' works, including Prophets of 1950. Other works of the time were more spontaneous, in keeping with the general spirit of post-war French Abstraction to be seen in the work of Bissière, Manessier, Lapique, and others. Coste was prolific. The division of periods shows a receptiveness to influences.
Coste participated in numerous collective exhibitions from 1952 to 1956. These included the second Salon des Tuileries (1924); the Salon des Artistes Indépendants (1942); the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles (1945); and the Salon d'Automne (1949). Collective exhibitions in Aix-en-Provence included one with Gleizes, Delaunay, Villon, Herbin and Légér (1953), and one with Calder, Masson, Messagier and Prassinos (1967). He also participated in Panorama of Abstract Painting ( Panorama de la Peinture Abstraite) at the Musée de Toulon (1958), and was represented in Women in Provence and the Mediterranean ( La Femme en Provence et en Méditerranée) at the Fondation Regards de Provence in the Château de Borély in Marseilles (2001).
His first solo exhibition was in Aix-en-Provence in 1933, and was introduced by Maurice Denis. It was followed by a second exhibition in Aix-en-Provence in 1939 with a new text by Maurice Denis, whom he would assist in 1941 on the decoration of a chapel in Thonon. He had another exhibition in Aix-en-Provence in 1949, this time introduced by Albert Gleizes. In 1945 he decorated the chapel of the Catholic college in Aix-en-Provence. In the same city in 1952 he painted a decoration measuring 12 by 4.5 metres at the Faculté de Droit (Faculty of Law), whose architect was Fernand Pouillon. In 1980 he was received into the Académie des Sciences, Arts et Belles-lettres in Aix-en-Provence.

Private collection until 2022
Suzy Frelinghuysen was born into a wealthy and prominent New Jersey family, and growing up, she was tutored in both art and music. While she showed an early talent for art, it was not her primary interest; as a child, she nurtured an nambition to become a professional singer. In 1935, she married George Morris, who came from an equally wealthy and distinguished New York family and had already established himself as an art collector, artist, and critic. Morris encouraged Frelinghuysen to paint and introduced her to a circle of affluent abstract artists, including the artist and collector Albert Gallatin. Gallatin owned a small but influential gallery, known as the Gallery of Living Art...

"Paysage de la Côte d'Azur" by G. Mathias – Cubist Oil and Acrylic Painting
Located in PÉRIGUEUX, FR
Paysage de la Cote d'Azur
65 x 54 cm
Oil and Acrylic on Canvas
Paysage de la Côte d'Azur is a vibrant tribute to the sunny allure of the French Riviera, interpreted through Diachronic Cubism. This piece captures the energy of the Côte d'Azur with its fragmented yet harmonious composition.
Rich yellows, deep blues, and bright reds evoke the Mediterranean sun, sea, and architecture, while angular shapes and layered perspectives bring movement and depth. A small figure and sailboats add a narrative touch, inviting the viewer to explore the scene from multiple viewpoints. Mathias masterfully merges cubist abstraction with a lively depiction of this iconic region.
Perfect For:
Collectors of Mediterranean landscapes, amateurs of cubist art, and those drawn to the vibrant charm of the Côte d'Azur. Paysage de la Côte d'Azur is an exquisite addition to any collection, infusing any space with color and modernity.
