Antoine Guillaume (Tony) Minartz was born in Cannes in 1870. He was essentially self-taught, though he did benefit from advice and guidance from the Impressionist printmaker Paul Renouard. Minartz first comes to the attention of art history in 1896, when he exhibited with the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. He showed with this and other Paris Salons up until 1914. What happened to him in the First World War is unknown, but after the war he seems to have ceased sending work to the Salons. He died in Cannes in 1944.
