"Mark Tobey, one of the "old masters" of American modern art, was the first American artist to be honored b a one-man show at the Louvre's Musee des Arts Decoratifs. At the time of this exhibition, France Observateur called Tobey's celebrated "white writing" style "a discovery on the highest plane of present-day art; a momentous entry into sensibility and silence." He creates a suble interplay of intangible structures and shadowy backgrounds -- an equilibrium of suggested forms and weaving light."
