评论： Known for his Minimalist sculptures in the 1960s/70s. In the 1950s Tobias explored Abstract-Expressionism and Constuctivism. During the 1960s he began producing large all-white paintings which soon became cubicle-structures onto which geometrical sculptural forms such as beams and curblike bars were added. These grew in size and weight (he began using cast-concrete) and eventually were being shown by themselves in galleries. Tobias also evolved some of these environments into the shapes of crosses and pews. During the 1980s Tobias focused on figurative painting in an expressionist mode, treating themes such as the Holocaust and violence. Teaching: instr. painting, New York Inst. Technol., 1966-71; instr. sculpture, Queens Col (NY), 1971-.
