About the Item
Lithograph on Velin d'Arches paper. Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued. Good condition. Notes: From the folio, Au Soleil du Plafond, 1955. Published by Éditions de la Revue Verve, Paris; under the direction of Tériade, éditeur, Paris; printed by Mourlot Frères, Paris, February 4, 1955. Excerpted from the volume (translated from French), This book, completed writing in the present form, was born more than thirty years after it was conceived by its authors, and Juan Gris, who had assumed the illustration of it, died in 1927, having been able to perform only half of his work. This is why the twenty poems are accompanied, in this book, by only eleven lithographs, one of which, the coffee grinder, appearing in the frontispiece, was the first project subsequently modified by the painter. This first project was executed in 1916 or 1917. The lack of these ten illustrations forced us to make a very different presentation of the book which, according to the first design, was to consist of twenty plates on rigid cardboard in the form of prints, each poem highlighting the engraving concerning it. This book is therefore in Juan's work
Grey, a unique document and, in our mind, a tribute to the memory of a prematurely deceased friend. This manuscript book by Pierre Reverdy, illustrated by Juan Gris, was completed and printed on February 4, 1955, on the presses of Mourlot Frères, for Éditions de la Revue Verve. This work was drawn on Velin d'Arches, two hundred and five copies, numbered from 1 to 205. The first forty-five copies include a series of illustrations on paper from China. It was also drawn fifteen non-commerce copies numbered from I to XV. All copies are signed by Pierre Reverdy.
Excerpted from the catalogue entry for the example from this edition owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, This book was originally planned by L. Rosenberg ca. 1916-1917. Gris died in 1927, having finished only half of the intended illustrations. The project was taken up by Ténade some thirty years later, with the collaboration of the author (Reverdy). Although published in 1955, it is generally accepted as one of the greatest Cubist "livres d'artiste." Both the "illustrations" and the handwritten text are printed via lithography. The text is printed in black and the eleven illustrations in color, on colored grounds. Unbound sheets in slipcase.
JUAN GRIS (1887-1927) was a Spanish painter born in Madrid who lived and worked in France for most of his active period. Closely connected to the innovative artistic genre Cubism, his works are among the movement's most distinctive. In 1906, after he sold all his possessions, he moved to Paris and became friends with the poets Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, and artists Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger and Jean Metzinger. He submitted darkly humorous illustrations to journals such as the anarchist satirical magazine L'Assiette au Beurre, and also Le Rire, Le Charivari, and Le Cri de Paris. In Paris, Gris followed the lead of Metzinger and another friend and fellow countryman, Pablo Picasso.

- French Modernist Mourlot Lithograph Vintage Air France Poster Roger BezombesBy Roger BezombesLocated in Surfside, FLVintage 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.
