Born in Alsace - Lorraine France in 1902, Charles Cobelle (born
Carl Edelman) lived and painted in Paris until the late 1920’s
when he moved to the United States.
Cobelle took his Bachelor's and his Master's degrees from
the University of Munich and later studied at the L’Ecole
des Beaux Arts in Paris. He also studied privately with Marc
Chagall and apprenticed in the studio of Raul Dufy in Menton
on the Riviera.
In the time before he moved to the United States, Cobelle
had established himself as an artistic force in Europe and today
is considered the last link to the great tradition of the Open
Line School of Paris.
Cobelle had already become a U.S. citizen before the outbreak
of World War II. In the United States his paintings were immediately
sought after by galleries and private collectors alike. Throughout
his long and prosperous career, Cobelle painted his favorite
subjects; Paris street scenes, racetracks, regattas and casinos.
In addition to his mixed media paintings his work has graced
the covers of many of this country's leading magazines and his
murals have adorned the walls of many elegant residences, public
buildings, fine hotels and restaurants.
