About the Item
"Bal AAAA Bullier" is an original color lithograph poster by Achille-Emile Othon Friesz, signed by the artist in the plate in the lower left. This poster advertises the annual fundraiser ball of the AAAA, L'Aide Amicale Aux Artistes (Friendly Help For Artists) to support the art community. Each year, the AAAA would approach an important contemporary artist to create an original color lithograph for purposes of advertising their fundraiser. As such, these lithographs are a rather important part of European art history in the 20th century for their promotion of contemporary artists and their advocacy for the art community as a whole.

Achille-Émile-Othon Friesz, who later just called himself Othon Friesz, was born in Le Havre in 1879. Early on he was encouraged by his parents to become a painter and as soon as 1892 he began training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre, where he worked at Charles-Marie Lhullier's workshop. It was there that he met with Raoul Dufy and George Braque, with whom he developed a lasting friendship and travelled. In 1897 Friesz was granted a scholarship and studied until 1903 under Léon Bonnat at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He met with Henri Charles Manguin, Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse and Charles Camoin. Especially his contact to Camille Pissaro influenced Friesz in that period of creativity. The painter made his artistic debut in 1900 at the Salon of the Société des Artistes français. Then he exhibited work in 1904 at the first Salon d'Automne and again in 1906 at the Salon des Indépendants. Over the years Friesz abandoned his former nature-orientated concept in favour of works formed by Fauvism. The artiste travelled extensively, et al. to Portugal in 1911 and to Belgium in 1912. Stays in Munich and Düsseldorf as well as the participation in exhibitions by the Berlin Secession made Friesz's work known in Germany as well. Friesz, who participated in exhibitions not only throughout Europe but also in the Armory Show in New York as well as in Chicago, taught between 1912 and 1921 at the Académie Moderne in Paris, from 1925 at the Académie Scandinave and from 1944 at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. An outstanding late work is the decoration he did with Raoul Dufy for the Palais de Chaillot on the occasion of the world fair in Paris in 1937. Even though the artist used a more traditional, austere technique in his late works, several of his earlier works, especially from 1907, are regarded as the boldest examples of Fauvism.

- 20th century color lithograph historical military figurative scene sketch signedBy Abel PannLocated in Milwaukee, WI"Leur Abri (Their Shelter)" is an original color lithograph by Abel Pann. It features soldiers hiding behind cowering civilians, women and children, and was created during World War I. The artist signed the piece lower right, and the edition number is 40/500. 12 1/4" x 19 1/2" image 19 5/8" x 24 3/4" paper 25 3/4' x 30 1/4" frame Over many years, Abel Pann (1883-1963) was regarded as the foremost Land Of Israel Painter. This view was shared by the Jewish community throughout the world and by the general public in pre-State Israel where reproductions of his works were hung in almost every home”. This is how Yigal Zalmone, Chief Art Curator of the Israel Museum, describes Abel Pann. Abel Pann was born in 1883 in the town of Kreslawka in the Vetebsk region of White Russia. His father Nahum was a rabbi and head of a yeshivah, a religious academy. Pann received a Jewish elementary school education until he was twelve. He studied the fundamentals of drawing for three months with the painter Yehuda Pen of Vetebsk, who also taught Marc Chagall and Ossip Zadkine. When he was twelve he traveled between Russian and Poland, earning money as an apprentice in sign workshops. In 1898 he went south to Odessa, where he was accepted by the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1903 Pann moved to Paris, where his work included depictions of Jewish daily life, Parisian genre paintings, as well as sketches and caricatures that were humorous and psychological criticisms regarding society. His empathy for the poor and wretched became well known. In 1912, the director of the Bezalel School of Art and Crafts in Jerusalem asked Abel Pann to teach at the school which he accepted a year later. During the first year of World War I, Pann was restricted to leave Europe after he returned to recover belongings to take back to Jerusalem. During the first years of the war, he concentrated on popular, nationalist posters and illustrations, including depictions of the cruelty of the German enemy. In 1920 he returned to Jerusalem and resumed teaching at the Bezalel School, and formed the Palestine Art...Category
