Biography
Theo Tobiasse, born 1927, Jaffa, Israel. His parents immigrated from Lithuania in 1925. Because of financial difficulties, the family returned to Lithuania when Tobiasse was still very young. However, by 1931 the family had settled in Paris. Tobiasse has never forgotten his first sight of Paris. During the Nazi occupation of Paris, the Tobiasse family lived hidden for two years in a minuscule apartment in Paris. Theo spent his time reading, drawing, and playing chess with his father. The chessboard pattern seen in many of Theo’s paintings is symbolic of this time in his life. On August 25, 1944 Paris was liberated. After the war Tobiasse worked for 15 years as a very successful advertising artist, first in Paris and then in Nice. He painted as often as he could during this time, often at night. In 1960 he entered his first art show and won the Grand Prize. Since 1961, Tobiasse has enjoyed incredible success as far as New York, Paris, Tel Aviv, Caracas and Tokyo, in all of which he has had one-man shows. Art Expo New York, the world’s largest art trade show, listed Tobiasse as one of the only Museum Quality artists represented when American Fine Art Editions exhibited his works there in 1998.
His subjects evolved towards reminiscences of his childhood mixed with Biblical or erotic fantasies. His more recent work examines themes of exile, and often includes women, children, and crowds of people.
