From Wikipedia: Raphaël Toussaint (pseudonym of Jacques de la Croix; born 25 April 1937, in La Roche-sur-Yon), (aged 86) is a French painter residing in the Vendée department. Landscape designer, he practices "poetic reality".
He is self-taught and devotes himself to painting and lithography. He was wounded in 1957 in the war in Algiers. He turned to art under the auspices of an art gallery owner Rene Robin, his father-in-law. He worked under an alias changing his name to become Raphaël Toussaint.
With Robin, he came into direct contact with the landscape and began his first period.
Until 1970, he worked under the secrecy of anonymity in order to make sure that his choice to devote himself entirely to painting was not an adventure without a future. It was in 1965 that he began his first exhibitions in different galleries and that he was selected the following year to participate in the Salon “Comparaisons” at the Grand Palais (Paris). His life as a professional and official painter then came to light. It was in 1973 that he formalised his pseudonym Raphaël Toussaint by means of a notarial deed.
