Painter, printmaker, and bookbinder and designer Germaine Marguerite de Coster was born in Paris, France, on September 1, 1895, into a family of Flemish engineers. A gifted artist from an early age, she began her formal art studies in 1912 at the National School of Decorative Arts. There she studied engraving under Charles Genuys and Paul Follot, and Japanese woodblock techniques under Jules Chadel and Yoshijiro Urushibara. Though she focused primarily on graphic arts, she also pursued textile design, which led to an internship at the set design workshop of Theatre du Vieux-Colombier under Jacques Copeau and Louis Jouvet.
