——————

Albert Zavaro (1925–2022) was a French painter of Spanish origin, born in Istanbul. Settled in Paris since childhood, he studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, notably in the workshop of Maurice Brianchon.

A figurative painter associated with the Nouvelle École de Paris, he developed a body of work marked by color, landscapes, still lifes, and an inspiration nourished by his many travels, notably to Spain, Morocco, Italy, and Japan. Winner of the Casa de Velázquez in 1951-1952, then of the Maison Descartes Prize in Amsterdam in 1953, he exhibited in France and abroad.

A professor at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris from 1967, he also practiced lithography and sculpture. He died in Bayeux in 2022, at the age of 97.
