About this user
Robert R. Toth is the founder of RT-DESIGNS USA. The sculptures and paintings that occupy his studio are diverse to say the least. The creative works of Robert Toth present a variety of themes and cover almost every medium.
"As an artist I've always been drawn to things larger than life. Things that take on a meaning beyond themselves, and fill us with memory and emotion, embodying the spirit of a dynamic time, or celebrating a special event or achievement. The theme running through all my work is greatness; something far beyond the ordinary. These are things which symbolize a standard of excellence in design and achievement". -Robert Toth
Toth who grew up in New Jersey, graduated from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, where he majored in Fine Art. His post graduate studies were at the Art Students League, New York City, and the Cape School of Art with Henry Hensche, Provincetown, Mass. He has worked in industry creating architectural renderings and designing trophies. For several years he was on the design staff with Congoleum Industries.

Toth has also completed nearly 100 instructional television programs demonstrating art, including two series, "Art and Creativity" and "The Realm of Art", both of which were featured on "Adelphia Cable" and "CTN" networks. He has been the subject in "American Artist Magazine" and a variety of other publications In every custom series the medium is selected to best receive the hand finished patinas that enhance the fine art quality of these sculptures. Toth has directed his talents toward an opulent era, revived in America today, by combining the best of form and function with artistic expression. Consequently, the nature of some of these specialty items is that they take time. They are not mass produced. They are hand crafted. Please be prepared to wait 12 or more weeks for foundry cast bronze. Additionally, please ask us questions about other works. Just because you do not see it here, does not mean he does not have it. Custom commission is also available. RT-DESIGNS USA combines the best of form and function with artistic expression and a touch of nostalgia. RT-DESIGNS USA are creators of quality investment art.
