{"id":9542,"count":0,"description":"Louis Toncini, born on November 30, 1907 in Marseille and died there on December 27, 2002, was a French painter.\n\nLouis Toncini was a student at the \u00c9cole des beaux-arts in Marseille, where he first studied sculpture and then painting. In 1928, he exhibited at the Guibert gallery and art bookshop on the Cours Pierre-Puget in Marseille. Shortly afterwards, he took part in the young painters' movement in Marseille and in 1931, together with Leon Cadenel, Antoine Serra, Jean Tognetti and Fran\u00e7ois Diana, founded the group of proletarian painters who would later be known as the People's Painters. He painted the world of work and dealt with urban themes: Factories, train stations, harbors, etc.\n\nHe also worked as a decorative painter, for which he was commissioned by numerous architects. In 1936, he participated (also with Antoine Serra, Fran\u00e7ois Diana and Leon Cadenel) in the creation of the province's first House of Culture, supported by Louis Aragon, Andr\u00e9 Malraux and Jean Giono.\n\nAfter the Liberation, his optimistic character gained the upper hand: he painted still lifes, bouquets of flowers and landscapes. He became one of the most important figures among the painters of the P\u00e9ano. After buying a house in the Hautes-Alpes, he also painted the banks of the Durance, the mountains, villages, etc.","link":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/c\/artist-en-2\/louis-toncini-en\/","name":"Louis Toncini","slug":"louis-toncini-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1857,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/9542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1857"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=9542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
