Published by Fernand Hazan, Éditeur, Paris; rendered by Clichés Union, Paris; printed by l'Imprimerie Lecot, Paris, June 1961. Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), The illustrations of this album, completed in June 1961, were produced by Clichés Union and shot by l'Imprimerie Lecot. The text has been composed and drawn by l'Imprimerie Darantiere and the binding made by F.l.A.P. according to the models of Marcel Jacno. Fernand Hazan Éditeur, 35-37 rue de Seine, Paris. 1961. Tous droits de reproduction réservés. Printed in France. MARK TOBEY (1890-1976) was an American painter. His densely structured compositions, inspired by Asian calligraphy, resemble Abstract expressionism, although the motives for his compositions differ philosophically from most Abstract Expressionist painters. His work was widely recognized throughout the United States and Europe and came in the wake of Picasso and Braque. Along with Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and William Cumming, Tobey was a founder of the Northwest School. Senior in age and experience, he had a strong influence on the others; friend and mentor, Tobey shared their interest in philosophy and Eastern religions. Similar to others of the Northwest School, Tobey was mostly self-taught after early studies at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1921, Tobey founded the art department at The Cornish School in Seattle, Washington.Tobey was an incessant traveler, visiting Mexico, Europe, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, China and Japan. After converting to the Baháʼí Faith, it became an important part of his life. Whether Tobey's all-over paintings, marked by oriental brushwork and calligraphic strokes, were an influencer on Jackson Pollock's drip paintings has been left unanswered. Born in Centerville, Wisconsin, Tobey lived in the Seattle, Washington area for most of his life before moving to Basel, Switzerland in the early 1960s with his companion, Pehr Hallsten; Tobey died there in 1976. In 2018, a painting by Mark Tobey, Autumnal Fire, sold at Sotheby’s Paris for $1,641,207 USD, setting a world record for the artist.
