Tonny Kristians (September 13, 1907 — June 20, 1977), known as Kristians Tonny, was a Surrealist painter and draftsman whose career spanned from the 1920s through to the 1970s.
Born in Amsterdam, he moved to Paris with his parents in 1913.
Encouraged by his father, he began painting and drawing at an early age, which resulted in him securing his first exhibition at the Paris gallery Mouninou at the age of twelve and breaking through as an avant-garde artist in 1929.
Later in life he suffered considerable setbacks both in his personal life and career, as a result of which interest in his work dwindled.
