Provenance : Sale by Maîtres Paul et Jacques Martin, Versailles, March 4, 1979, no. 93 Exhibition: Galerie Blot, 1917 Galerie Haussmann, 1921 Exhibition Felix Tobeen, Un poète du Cubisme, Musée Bordeaux, May 31 to September 3, 2012 Bibliography : Jean Richard, Catalogue Raisonné de l'Oeuvre de Félix Tobeen, n°71, reproduced Michel Charzat, La jeune peinture française 1910-1940, Une époque, un Art de vivre, Paris, Hazan, 2010, page 184, described and reproduced Originally from Bordeaux, Félix Elie Bonnet, known as Tobeen, came from a family of artists and decorators based in the historic center of Bordeaux. In the family workshops, he discovered and practiced wood engraving. During these early years, Tobeen met a number of Bordeaux artists - Georges de Sonneville, André Lhote and Odilon Redon, for example - while also making the acquaintance of second-hand dealer Pascal Désir Maisonneuve. Tobeen's vision of Gauguin's works inspired him in his work, particularly in the use of solid colors and the delimitation of shapes by a circle. In 1907, Tobeen moved to Paris, settling in a studio at La Ruche in Montparnasse, then rue Trudaine. In contact with the Ruche artists, who were close to Picasso, but also with the artists of the Puteaux circle who took part in the "Section d'Or" Salon in 1912 (Gleizes, Metzinger, Jacques Villon, Picabia, La Fresnaye...), Tobeen became interested in the Cubist movement. During his lifetime, the artist took part in some thirty exhibitions, in France and abroad, particularly in the Netherlands. His work was regularly shown in Salons and galleries, especially in Paris (Bernheim Jeune, Druet, Berthe Weill, Blot, Katia Granoff...).These various activities and encounters contributed to his success in later years, during which time he also frequently visited the Basque country, which regularly became the subject of some of his paintings. In 1920, the painter discovered Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme, where he settled a few years later. Tobeen enjoyed great success, particularly in the Netherlands, for his many flower paintings. He also joined the Jeune Peinture Française group. Still lifes and female figures dominated the last twenty years of his career. ---- Félix-Elie Bonnet dit Tobeen, from Bordeaux of Basque-French descent, was a self-taught painter who was introduced to painting by Olivier Hourcade, the introducer of Cubism in Aquitaine. After a post-impressionist period, then a Fauvist one (his Consolation evokes the pre-1914 Girieud), he moved to Paris, meeting the artists of the Puteaux circle in 1910 and taking part in the first Section d'or exhibition (1912). He set out to achieve a synthesis between cubism and tradition. His Pelotaris, a large-scale composition for the Indépendants, was noticed by Apollinaire. After the Great War, he fled the capital and settled in Saint-Valéry-en-Caux. Breaking with Cubism to join the Jpf movement, he exhibited frequently at the Bernheim gallery and in Holland (Nieuwenhuizen Segaar gallery in The Hague). From then on, his painting was realistic and poetic, with light colors and geometric plasticity. His subjects are still lifes, precious bouquets and landscapes, particularly of the Basque country, which are similar to those of La Fresnaye in the early 1920s. A man of high moral and artistic standards, Tobeen is said to have created just three hundred canvases. He also drew and painted on wood. Several museums preserve his works, in France (Bordeaux, Bayonne, Nancy) and the Netherlands (Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo Central Museum, Utrecht). A monograph on Tobeen is currently in preparation. Michel Charzat, La Jeune peinture française, 1910-1940 une époque, un art de vivre, Paris, Hazan, 2010

JOSEP DE TOGORES LLACH (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970). "Tertulia de viejos pescadores" (Old fishermen's gathering). 1943. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. With label of the Sala Parés. Measurements: 81 x 100 cm; 98 x 117 cm (frame). Togores converts here an everyday and anecdotal subject into an almost magical moment thanks to his ability to endow the elderly with such psychic depth that makes them endearing and close. A melancholic aura envelops the scene. Born into a well-to-do and cultured family that frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting began at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis. He traveled to France and Belgium, where he discovered the paintings of Rembrandt, and at the 1907 International Art Exhibition in Barcelona, he was fascinated by the work of Monet. At the age of eighteen he was already an important artist in Barcelona, and in 1913 he was commissioned to decorate the chapel of Anna Girona in Poblet. With a scholarship from the city council of Barcelona, he moved to Paris to study, where he became acquainted with the painting of Cézanne, who would be a decisive influence on his work from then on. In 1917 he meets Picasso, and comes into contact with cubist theories and circles. In the 1920s he began his relationship with the gallery owner Kahnweiler, who would later become Picasso's dealer. He worked exclusively with him between 1921 and 1931, when his painting went through its most experimental period, approaching automatism and surrealism. Under Kahnweiler's guidance he became an enormously successful artist. In 1932 his painting takes a new turn, a return to figuration. He moves to Barcelona and works with a new dealer, Francesc Cambó. During this period he painted many portraits of the most important people in Catalan society, and became one of the most sought-after painters of the time. During the Civil War he moved to France, but returned in 1939, where he continued to work, without having lost any of his prestige. His work is present in the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional del Arte de Cataluña, the Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Museo de Arte de Sabadell, the Städtisches Gelsenkirchen Museum (Germany), the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), the Palacio Nacional de Montjuic and the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), among others.
