Color Lithograph, Théo Tobiasse, a Light on Saint Mark's Square, XXth Century
About the Item
Beautiful colour print by Theo Tobiasse (1927 - 2012), entitled "A light on St Mark's Square
Did you know? Colour lithography is a superimposition of coloured areas. The artist uses a separate stone for each colour. After having marked out the areas of colour on tracing paper, he transfers them to a stone by marking them out.
When the drawing is completed, each stone is inked with the appropriate colour and printed in turn on the same sheet of paper. The order of printing must be carefully chosen. Accurate registration is necessary. This is achieved in most cases by pinholes and small rectangles drawn on the paper.
Period: 20th century
Dimensions with frame: height : 73cm x length : 88cm x depth : 2cm
Proof justified : 124 /175
Throughout his work, Théo Tobiasse's favourite themes recur like incantations. The woman, mother or lover, omnipotent mistress, carrier and receptacle of all desires.
Travel, exile, witness cities: Paris, New York, Venice, Jerusalem; circuses, musicians and acrobats, mythological and biblical subjects.
These main themes are declined by as many different techniques, used alone or in association.
He expresses his feelings in two or three dimensions, from the lightest collage to the monumental bronze or concrete sculpture, from the delicacy of a glaze thrown on a sheet of paper, to the vigorous full paste of a canvas saturated with colours, right up to his palette, which has become a mountain, a sort of fantastic landscape whose secrets only the artist knows.
In all, more than 150 works in all techniques illustrate the immense creativity and singularity of an artist who crossed the 20th century, preserving in the depths of his being the lights of hope in the darkest hours of the century's history.

Théo Tobiasse
Born in Palestine in 1927 and brought to Paris as a child, Theo Tobiasse created his earliest drawings before World War II. After the war, having spent the crucial years of his youth hiding from the Nazis in a Paris apartment, he became a successful commercial designer until 1961, when he decided to devote his full attention to painting. Tobiasse's style of painting is highly sophisticated. His technique is a painterly blend of surrealism, expressionism, and modern primitivism. His themes are literary, often biblical, and at times, erotic. His paintings seem to transcend history - fusing dreams, mythologies, biblical stories and his own past - into rich metaphors for the world of the present. An internationally acclaimed artist, Tobiasse's works are included in numerous private, corporate and museum collections worldwide.
