Louis Toncini Paintings
French, 1907-2002
Louis Toncini, born in Marseille, France was one of a group of artists who founded the Peintres Prolétariens, or later, the painters of the people. He painted the world of workers and depicted such subjects as factories, warehouses, train stations and working ports, etc. After the war, Toncini’s work took a more optimistic turn with paintings of still lives, bouquets and country landscapes. In 1936, along with fellow artists Antoine Serra, François Diana and Leon Cadenel, Toncini created the first organization dedicated to the culture of his native Provence. His art is now exhibited in museums, galleries and private collections around the world and has been sold by major international auction houses.
