Anna Costa was a French artist whose vibrant works exemplify the distinctive art movement known as Provençal Colorism. Painting in her Provençal village near Cavaillon from the 1940s through the 1970s, Costa captured the natural beauty, traditions, and character of the region in her distinctive, naive style. Her art is characterized by bold, bright colors and striking contrasts between light and shadow, evoking the essence of Southern France. Costa’s work is instantly recognizable for its joyful palette and heartfelt depictions of the landscapes, people, and customs of Provence.
