Artist: Theo Tobiasse
Theo Tobiasse (1927-2012) , master of the Paris School, was born in Jaffa, Israel in 1927 of Lithuanian parents. His father, a Zionist, was a printer and in order to find work, he moved the family to Paris in 1931. Tobiasse has never forgotten his first sight of Paris, the City of Lights. St Paul de Vence was the final home of Tobiasse, which until 2020 was also a favorite oil painting Patti and Coop Cooprider acquired in Europe.
The village of “St. Paul de Vence” hosted another artist Marc Chagall. He and Tobiasse had their home/studios there. Patti and Coop, in 1979, visited the home/studio of both artists about a mile apart. Patti even had her picture with Marc Chagall and corresponded for 20 years with Vava, his 2nd wife. The Coopriders continued to acquire Tobiasse oil paintings from Galerie Fererro in Nice and lithographs from Dr. Jawdat Naffouj in Landstuhl, Germany.
