About Théo Tobiasse (1927–2012)

Popular in the late 20th century, his lithographs are in major collections worldwide.
A powerful, collectible unframed piece for Tobiasse collectors, Jewish/exile-themed art enthusiasts, or fans of 20th-century expressionist prints. Authenticity supported by the original pencil signature.
