Tony Agostini, born in 1916 in Bastia, has established himself in the French artistic landscape since the second half of the 20th century. A passionate self-taught artist, he moved to Montmartre in 1944, where he frequented major artists like Gen Paul or Marcel Aymé. He began painting in 1946, finding his first subjects in the effervescence of Parisian streets, crowd scenes and night atmospheres. Later moved to Antony, he remained there until his death in 1990.
A prolific artist, Tony Agostini participates in numerous personal and collective exhibitions in France and abroad. He exhibited in Paris, New York and Tokyo, and took part in renowned exhibitions. An active member of the École de Paris, he develops a work that reflects a great mastery of drawing and a sensitivity that captures the humanity of his subjects.
Marked by Cézanne's teaching and post-cubist research, Agostini develops a structured, colorful style, often centered on the human figure, interiors or still lifes. He likes to represent bistro atmospheres, flower bouquets or intimate scenes with a lively palette and rigorous composition. He uses paint as well as gouache or drawing.
