Chester Toney (Am. 1925-1960)
 
Chester Toney was born in 1925* in Littlefield, Texas. Toney was a dominant force on the Texas Modern scene, known for his nonobjective, expressionist works. He was a central figure in the foundation of the San Antonio Men of Art Guild (1952).

Toney studied at the San Antonio Art Institute, where he was a colleague of Cecil Casebier and Bill Reily (fellow cofounders of the San Antonio Men of Art).

Toney’s work met great acclaim, and San Antonio artists, collectors and institutions (such as the Marion Koogler McNay Art Institute) encouraged him to pursue a nonobjective style. The San Antonio Art League recognized Toney’s achievements, nominating him as artist of the Year in 1960.**
 
Toney’s career was brief, but his success was significant, and his devotion to non-objectivity was pivotal during a period of transition in Texas art from traditional, representational imagery to abstraction.
