Theo Tobiasse

PUBLIC WORKS
Tobiasse joined the illustrious list of Twentieth Century artists who have decorated chapels in the South of France:  Picasso in Valauris, Matisse in Vence, Jean Cocteau in Villefranche-su-Mer with his glorious decoration of the chapel St-Sauveur in Le Cannet, which includes painted panels, a mosaic, sculptures and stained glass windows.

As part of the celebration of the two-thousandth anniversary of the Jewish community of Strasbourg, France, Tobiasse created stained glass windows and murals for the community center which now bears his name.

Brought to Paris from Israel as a child, Tobiasse was educated and did his first drawings before World War II.  His Jewish family's survival through the terrifying years spent hidden from the Nazis in a Paris apartment is part of his extraordinary life.

Since 1961 Tobiasse has enjoyed ever- increasing recognition and popularity across the globe, with one-man shows in New York, Paris, Tel Aviv, Tokyo and Caracas to name a few.
