Photograph of Tobey working on one of six murals for the MacArthur Memorial in Norfolk, VA. In this Mural of Surrender on the Missouri, Tobey painted a total of 52 portraits. Photo: American Artist, May 1976.

In stark contrast to the realistic representational style of his illustrations, Tobey's Curvilinear Paintings, one of which he is seen with above, are only one of a number of diverse modern styles he worked in during his career.
