Charles Cobelle Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1902 - d. 1994

Artist Charles Cobelle, born in France in 1902, was a prolific oil and watercolor painter. His impressionistic and modern art form is often presented using light colors, pastels, washes of various tones, and open lines. He studied at the University of Munich and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was also privately tutored by Marc Chagall.

After moving to America in the 1920s and becoming a citizen, his work became well-known, and artist Charles Cobelle's oil painting prices increased, allowing him to become commercially successful. His artwork appeared on magazine covers and wall murals. Toward the end of his life, he often signed his paintings Chas Cobelle instead of just Cobelle. Charles Cobelle's paintings often depict casinos, city and town streets, race tracks, and regattas.

BIOGRAPHY: Cobelle received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from the University of Munich and continued his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Much more influential in his development, however, were his private studies with Marc Chagall and his apprenticeship in the studio of Raoul Dufy in Menton on the Riviera. 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, Connecticut. Charles Cobelle lived in Ridgefield CT in a private lake community called Twixt Hills until his death. By the 1950s, spurred by the commercial success of his mentor, Dufy, Cobelle had achieved phenomenal success commercially with his Parisian-influenced style. Much like contemporary artists and designers at the time, his designs graced a number of pottery patterns for various pottery companies, including Midwinter Stylecraft, Universal Potteries and Homer Laughlin China Company. In addition to creating advertising illustrations for everything from hosiery to French perfume, Cobelle created a number of murals throughout the country in noteworthy public locations such as The Painted Desert Room of the Desert Inn in Las Vegas, the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco, Neiman-Marcus in Dallas and on the cruise ships of the Holland America Line.Throughout his long and prosperous career, Cobelle painted his favorite subjects; Paris street scenes, race tracks, regattas and casinos. The subjects in Cobelle's paintings were not of actual locations or events, but they nevertheless convey the excitement of the places that they depict. This imagery, combined with a vibrant palette of expressive colors, creates a world full of verve and wit that effortlessly transcends reality.His paintings are characterized by thin, descriptive line-work over broad patches of bold color. First, Cobelle would map out a scene in blocks of bold, expressive color. Then, he would define the imagery with spontaneous, fluid line work. Many of his paintings were painted on canvas with mixed media - oils, acrylics, tempera, conte crayon, ink, whatever was at hand. In 1965, a fire ravaged his studio at his home in Ridgefield, Connecticut. As a result, most of his early work was lost, as were all school records and correspondence.In his later years, which ended with his death in July 1994, he signed his paintings "Chas Cobelle."
