Biographical Information
Bruno Cote ~ [1940-2010] Canadian
Côté was born in Quebec City in 1940. At the age of 17, he entered the family advertising firm as a lettermaker and gradually climbed up the ranks. In the 1960s, he began painting, devoting himself entirely to it in the years that followed. He moved to the Charlevoix region in 1978, where he painted the landscapes tirelessly and gained an important place in the artistic history of the region. In the early 1980s, Bruno Côté traveled through many regions of Quebec and the rest of Canada to paint his colorful landscapes. Côté’s paintings are held in private, corporate and public collections including the Musée D'Art Contemporain de Montréal, the Musée de Charlevoix, Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, the Musée Marc-Aurèle Fortin, the Canadian Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Confederation Art Gallery and Museum, Charlottetown (source: www.galeriecosner.com/en/artists/110-bruno-cote)
