Biography:
Louis Toffoli (1907-1999) was an Italian-French painter, best known for his colorful, fractural figural and landscape paintings. Toffoli's work is concerned with transparency, often breaking his faceless figures down into various overlapping parts to facilitate a ghostly, dream-like appearance that addresses the transitory quality of life. Born on October 16, 1907 in Trieste, Italy, the artist spent his early life in World War II-era Italy, which had a marked impact on his work and outlook. He began producing Constructivist paintings and exhibited several of these early works at the 1928 Trieste Biennale, which subsequently garnered attention from the Fascist regime. Fearing for his safety, Toffoli fled to Paris, where he attained significant popularity in artistic and intellectual circles, and regularly exhibited at the Salon d'Automne and the Salon des Independants. After his death in Paris, France on February 18, 1999, he was awarded the Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 1996.

Louis Toffoli
Louis Toffoli (1907-1999) was a French modernist artist, born in 1907, known for his characteristic post-cubist transparent paintings. A twentieth century French painter and printmaker, Louis Toffoli studied art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Trieste in 1924. In 1928 he exhibited his paintings in that city and was promptly condemned by Mussolini's fascist regime. Two years later Toffoli emigrated to Paris and began regularly exhibiting. With the outbreak of the Second World War (1939-1945) Louis Toffoli sought refuge in the countryside of Touraine and worked for the French Resistance. After the war he returned to Paris and received his French citizenship in 1947. Today the fine art of Louis Toffoli is included in public galleries in Germany, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, America and Israel. The largest collection of his art is located at Le Musee Toffoli, Charenton-le-Pont (near Paris).
