Théo Tobiasse
L'enfant et les Violons - Fauvist Abstracted Figurative

1972

About the Item

"L'enfant et les violons" - colorful signed original lithography by Theo Tobiasse (Lithuanian, 1927 - 2012). He was born in Israel of Lithuanian parents. Signed lower right. Numbered edition 44/310. Giltwood frame. Image, 34.5" H x 22.5"L. Before he turned seven, his family moved to Paris. As an adult, he lived in several cities in France, and also New York. In 1950 he moved to Nice where he continued to paint. In 1960, his work was noticed at an exhibition of young artists at the Palais de la Mediterranee in Nice and he won first prize. From then on art galleries and collectors continued to show interest in his work, and by 1962 Theo Tobiasse was finally able to devote himself entirely to painting. In 1970, he moved into his studio on Quai Rauba-Capeu, overlooking the Port of Nice. In 1976 he moved again to St. Paul-de-Vence where he rediscovered both the sky of Jerusalem and that of Florence. Tobiasse has created monumental works such as the fountain entitled "L'Enfant fou" for the Arenas Business Centre at Nice Airport, and stained-glass windows for various institutions in Strasbourg and Nice. He also designed costumes and stage-set models for Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion". During 1980's and 90's, Theo Tobiasse travelled a great deal in the United States. On a detour, via Mexico, he discovered the impressive Aztec sites of the Yucatan, whose sculptures and engraved stones left their mark on him for a certain period. Fascinated by New York, he decided to find a place where he could work for several months every year. Signed lower right. Numbered edition 44/310. Framed. Image, 34.5" H x 22.5"L
