Mark Tobey
They've come back II
1971

About the Item

They've come back II is an original etching realized by Mark Tobey in 1971. Colored aquatint on paper. Hand-signed in pen on the lower right margin. Numbered in pencil on the lower left. Edition of 96 prints. The engraved stamp of the Edition De Beauclair on the lower left margin and on the back. Good conditions. The composition is a typical artwork realized by Tobey in the 1970's, when the artist was in Switzerland. The composition is composed by four vertical stylized shapes on a dark red background. Tobey is one of the most important artist of American Abstract Expressionism and the artist that experimented Oriental challigraphy, especially the Chinese one. This aquatint, in fact, recalls the oriental vertical ideograms. Image Dimensions : 60 x 42 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.
