1971

About the Item

Pablo Picasso (D’après) Arlequin au Miroir, 1923 Knoedler, Paris, 1971, 26 octobre-30 novembre Par Henri Deschamps Imprimeur : Litho-offset on paper Edition: Mourlot, Paris 76 x 50,5 cm Bibliographie: Catalogue raisonné Czwiklitzer, n. 424 Cette affiche a été réalisée en 1971, à l'occasion de l'exposition Picasso à la galerie Knoedler à Paris. L'affiche a été réalisée par Henri Deschamps d'après l'oeuvre Arlequin au Miroir, 1923, de Picasso qui fait partie aujourd'hui des collections du Musée national Thyssen Bornemisza à Madrid. Inv. no. 709 (1979.87), exposée salle 45. Cette oeuvre, initialement conçue comme un autoportrait, réunit trois personnages chers à l'artiste, tous issus de la Comedia dell'Arte ou du monde du cirque: l'acrobate (costume), l'arlequin (bicorne) et le Pierrot (dont le visage, tel un masque, dissimule l'identité de l'artiste). Comme le précise Paloma Alarco du Musée Thyssen: "Le costume d'acrobate nous transporte dans le monde des saltimbanques et des artistes de cirque ; le chapeau triangulaire est une référence claire à Arlequin ; et le masque dans lequel Picasso transforme son visage est Pierrot, le soupirant éconduit de Colombine qui se complaît dans sa mélancolie en regardant son image dans le miroir, un attribut de la tromperie et de la vanité......Il ne faut oublier qu'à bien des égards Picasso considérait le tempérament d'Arlequin comme similaire au sien et que, tout au long de sa vie, il s'est représenté sous cette apparence à de nombreuses reprises, généralement pour des raisons sentimentales". Après son voyage en Italie avec Jean Cocteau en 1917, Picasso adopte un nouveau langage artistique inspiré de la tradition classique des peintures de Pompéï et de celles de Raphaël ou Michel-Ange. Toutefois, Picasso n'utilise ce vocabulaire formel classique que pour mieux le réinterpréter et le réinventer servant ainsi son approche libre de la création. Arlequin au miroir représente le couronnement de cette période tout en en signifiant la fin. Dès l'automne 1923 en effet l'artiste évolue progressivement vers sa période surréaliste.

  • French Modernist Mourlot Lithograph Vintage Air France Poster Roger Bezombes
    By Roger Bezombes
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Vintage French Travel Poster, Air France Roger Bezombes (1913-1994) French Bezombes was a painter, sculptor, medalist, and designer. He studied in Paris, at the École des Beaux-Arts, and was much influenced by his friendship with Maurice Denis. Heavily influenced by surrealism, He worked principally as a painter, adopting the saturated Fauvist colors of Henri Matisse in landscapes and figure studies often based on observation of “exotic” cultures, notably Mediterranean and North African. Constrained, because a very young orphan, to all kinds of professions which provide him with the material means to devote himself to painting - he participated in 1930 in the installation of the exhibition of the Bauhaus at the Grand Palais-, Roger Bezombes is student of the National School of Fine Arts in Paris. (Ecole des Beaux Artes) He was trained in the art of fresco by Paul Baudoüin, René Barotte nonetheless restores that the young man's preference goes to the practice of "truancy" which he uses to make copies at the Louvre Museum. It’s the time when Paul Gauguin’s paintings, Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse are revealed to him by Maurice Denis with whom he will remain close until his accidental death, painting him on his funeral bed on November 14, 1943. He executed surrealist tapestry designs for Aubusson and Gobelin tapestries, posters (winning the Grand Prix de l'Affiche Francaise in 1984), costumes and sets for ballets at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, reliefs and murals. In 1965 he took up medal-making, expressing in his numerous metallic works for the Paris Mint that obsession with found objects which is also evident in his large-scale sculpture and in his posters. He designed posters for Air France and for the French national railways. Roger Bezombes went to Africa for the first time in 1936 thanks to a travel grant and received the same year the second grand prize of Rome . In 1937 he traveled around Morocco where he became friends with Albert Camus. The year 1938 offered him both his first solo exhibition at the Charpentier gallery in Paris with paintings and gouaches on the theme of Morocco and the attribution of the national grand prize for the arts, earning him a great journey which , from Dakar to Algiers , takes it through Chad , Tamanrasset and Hoggar. Roger Bezombes became a professor at the Julian Academy in 1950. For him, 1951 was the year of a trip to Greece and the year where he began his relationship with tapestry work. Roger Bezombes visited Israel in 1953, Tunisia and Egypt in 1954. He was appointed official painter of the Navy in 1955. Pierre Mazars analyzes that “after a period where we notice the influence of Van Gogh and GeorgesBraque, particularly in his landscapes of Provence, he came to a more schematic writing, the colored spots and the thicknesses of material taking more of importance as the subject. He even performed composite works, half-watercolors, half-pasted papers, in which he incorporated pieces of newspapers”. He was elected titular to the Academy of Overseas Sciences in 1978. "The range of Bezombes' talent forms is remarkable,” writes Lynne Thornton, “ranging from paintings, murals, travel posters, tapestry cartons, book illustrations, monumental ceramic decorations, ballet and theater sets, totem sculptures, sculpture objects, jewelry and medallions”. He was part of the mid century mod School of Paris that included Leon Zack, Bernard Lorjou, Paul Augustin Aizpiri, Gabriel Godard, Michel Henry, Hans Erni, Bengt Lindstrom, Alfred Manessier, Andre Hambourg, Raymond Legueult and Jean Rigaud.

  • A + P Surprise, Wild Raspberries, USA, 1959, Lithograph
    By Andy Warhol
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    Andy Warhol is arguably the most important American artist of the 20th century. In the 1950s, he was an in-demand and celebrated illustrator working for New York's toniest publications (like Harper's Bazaar) and elegant shops (such as Bonwit Teller) in addition to many smaller independent fashion companies. Throughout the decade, Warhol received numerous awards and accolades for his illustrations - yet he found it difficult to surpass the designation of “commercial artist”. It wasn’t until the mid-1950s when Warhol completed a successful campaign for shoe retailer Miller & Sons, that he was finally granted widespread recognition for his renderings. "A + P Surprise" is a delightful paradigm from this era. This whimsical lithograph is an output from Warhol's self-published cookbook, "Wild Raspberries...
