Jean Toth attended La Grande Chaumière in Montparnasse and became famous thanks to his work for the Opéra Garnier. From the mythical ballets of the Paris Opera of the 40’s and 50’s to popular regional and international dances, dance was his main source of inspiration. Thanks to a passionate connoisseur’s eye, his works stand out for their dynamism.
