1975

About the Item

Sonata is an original artwork realized by Mark Tobey in 1975. Colored lithograph on Japan paper. Hand-signed in pencil by the artist on the lower right margin. Artist's proof. On the lower left E.A. in pencil is written. Engraved stamp of the Edition De Beauclair on the lower left margin. Good conditions except for a very light fold on the lower margin. The artwork is a typical abstract composition realized by the artist the year after his death, when he was in Basel with his wife. It is a composition realized with orange and warm colors that doesn't have a central focus. Image Dimensions : 39.5 x 49 cm Mark Tobey (United States, 1890 – Basel, 1976) was an important and popular American artist. He was predominantly self-taught; in 1909, he moved to Chicago where he was employed as a fashion illustrator, a profession that he continued when he moved to New York two years later. When he moved to New York, he worked as an artist for McCall’s Magazine and had some success as a portrait painter. In 1918, he was introduced to the Bahai World Faith, a lifestyle and a religion that promotes the universal consciousness. Tobey created complex compositions with no focal points. During the 1930's, he taught art in Devon, England; during the same years he started to study Oriental philosophy and art in China and to live in a Zen monastery in Japan. In 1958, he became the second American, after Whistler, to win the International Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale. In 1960, he moved to Switzerland with his wife for the rest of his life. He died in Basel in 1976. The calligraphic style was a visual manifestation of the interrelationship between the artist and the nature. The artist is best known for his calligraphic “white writing” style and became one of the best known and internationally respected American artists during the 1950s and 1960s. The white writing compositions are a result of his experiments with Chinese calligraphy with vibrating movement and light. Mark Tobey is considered one of the most important American painters of the XX century. In both his life and artworks, he expressed an interest in mystical state of mind. In fact, he is considered one of the "mystical painters". The artist is one of the pioneers and a founding father of artistic ferment that culminated in the second part of the century in the Abstract Expressionism.
