Gene Tobey

For twenty years, Gene and Rebecca Tobey worked together as husband and wife and artistic partners. Having created a distinctive style and a unique artistic signature, the Tobey design is instantly recognizable. In 2006 Gene Tobey passed away after battling leukemia. In the pages of Partners in Art, Rebecca Tobey shares her insights into their creative and collaborative process and shows the creations she and Gene forged during their two-decade partnership. She also includes a glossary of the Tobey signature sgraffito (etched symbols), unlocking the meaning behind the images she and Gene incorporated into almost every piece of their work. Susan Hallsten McGarry, former editor-in-chief of Southwest Art, discusses the Tobey ingenuity and legacy in her essay, Spirits Soar. This retrospective with over 250 full color plates is a testimony to the vision and art of Gene & Rebecca Tobey.
