Description

This is an original limited edition hand signed lithograph by Theo Tobiasse titled "Le Cantique de Cantiques #4" (Song of Songs). Published in 1996. Lithograph on Paper. Signed and Numbered by the artist. This piece is numbered from an edition of 275. Measures 15" x 21". Comes with a certificate of authenticity. Comes unframed. In mint condition. Israeli artist Theo Tobiasse was born in Palestine in 1927 and brought to Paris as a child. He created his earliest drawings before World War II, and spent the crucial years of his youth hiding from the Nazis in a Paris apartment. After the war he became a successful commercial designer until 1961 when he decided to devote his full attention to painting. Theo Tobiasse's style of painting is highly sophisticated. Tobiasse's technique is a painterly blend of surrealism, expressionism, and modern primitivism. His themes are literary, often biblical, and at times erotic. Tobiasse paintings seem to transcend history - fusing dreams, mythologies, biblical stories and his own past - into rich metaphors for the world of the present.
