Mark Tobey born in Centerville, Wisconsin 11 December 1890 and died in Basel, Switzerland 24 April 1976. Co-founder of the Northwest school of painting and considered one of the "mystical" painters. He was certainly involved in his evolving spiritual life and expressing it in and through his work, as well as spending time in the Far East and living in a monastery for a time. I see a connection with Gustave Moreau not in the subject matter but the spiritual content.
