Théo Tobiasse

The basis of what one has to say is there; it is enough to go ahead.

Pic Image Image Image

Théo Tobiasse is born is Israel in 1927 of Lithuanian parents. Insurmountable financial difficulties force the family to Kovno, then to Paris, where his father, a typographer, hopes to find work. Théo Tobiasse is six years old; this exhausting, interminable voyage, this displacement, will impregnate the painter’s entire oeuvre with the scent of exile. . . .

These pages will undoubtedly make it possible for some of you to associate an image with its title or the other way round, for others it will be a good time to discover more on such and such artist.
