(after) Georges Braque
Theogonie Exhibition Poster by Georges Braque, Modernist Mourlot Lithograph 1959

1959

About the Item

"Galerie Maeght Theogonie" announces an exhibition of the drawings Georges Braque produced to illustrate "Theogony", the 7th century BCE work by Hesiod that narrates the birth of the universe and gods' origin. Plate 5 of Les Affiches Originales, printed in 1959 by Fernand Mourlot. Rich, dense lead inks keep this lithograph looking spectacular. Georges Braque (French, 1882-1963) was a French painter that worked confidently in the styles of Impressionism and Fauvism before co-founding Cubism with Pablo Picasso. Works by Braque can be found in the collections of the Tate Gallery, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, among others. "...Fernand Mourlot has been synonymous with the resurgence of lithography – a process which under his influence, attracted the greatest artistic masters of our time. The medium provided a new avenue of expression, a new realm of possibilities for the likes of Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Miró, Braque, Dubuffet, Léger, and Giacometti to enrich their own work as well as fine art in general. Under the guidance of Mourlot, modern lithography developed a personality and discovered a future." (Mourlot Editions) This artwork is presented in archival rag mat and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

  • 1956 Fernand Leger Mourlot Exhibition Poster
    By Fernand Léger
    Located in Wilton Manors, FL
    76 x 52 cm. Printed by Fernand Mourlot on rag paper watermarked "Mourlot." A condition. Not in Saphire. .Fernand Mourlot was born in Paris in 1895. He grew up in the family print shop but it wasn't until he took over in the early 1920s that he would change the fabric of printing forever. His influence fostered a resurgence of lithography, revealing it as a new avenue for expression and a new realm of possibilities for likes of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, and Alberto Giacometti to enrich their own work as well as fine art in general. Fernand cultivated the lithograph as a painter's medium and the family studio on Rue Chabrol became a hub where he could invite artists to work directly on the stone, as if creating a poster. In 1937, the studio produced two posters (based on paintings by Matisse...
