About the Item
Lithograph on vélin d'Arches paper. Paper Size: 10 x 7.5 inches. Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued. Notes: From the album, Prints from the Mourlot Press, exhibition sponsored by the French Embassy, circulated by the Traveling Exhibition Service of the National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution 1964-1965, 1964. Published by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, in collaboration with the Embassy of France, Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.; printed by Mourlot Frères, Paris, October 27, 1964. Excerpted from the album, This exhibition is a manifestation of Franco-American friendship and we would be very happy if it is of interest to all those who visit it. I wish to thank Mrs. Annemarie Pope for proposing and organizing this exhibition of the work of the artists who have used our press. We are honored that Mr. Hervé Alphand, Ambassador of France to the United States, and Mr. Edouard Morot-Sir, Cultural Counsellor at the French Embassy in New York, will sponsor this exhibition. I express to them my thanks and appreciation. As for the artists themselves, who executed the originals contained in this catalogue, I can only say simply, "Thank you."
They are all friends. We would have liked to include not just the twenty-four illustrations in this small book, but many more. During the year 1963, we lost three great artists who were faithful friends of our press. Thanks to Mrs. Georges Braque, Mr. Louis Carré, and Mr. Edouard Dermit, who have
been able to pay our respects to Georges Braque, Jacques Villon and Jean Cocteau. The great Henri Matisse is also with us, since Mrs. Du-thuit-Matisse and her brothers have allowed us to use an unpublished original lithograph. Thanks to them all for their generosity. —Fernand Mourlot. The lithography at Mourlot printing press by Jean Adhémar, Curator of prints at the Bibliothèque nationale. Acknowledgments, Fernand Mourlot has long been the acknowledged master printer of France in every field, from lithographs to fine books to posters. The unfailing quality of his work commands the respect of museums, collectors, and most important of all, the artists themselves. Every product of his workshop bears the mark of Mourlot's discipline and craft and can truly be called an ideal collaboration between artist and artisan. The result of years of thoughtful planning, this special exhibition presents an accurate portrait of the Mourlot Press. We are greatly indebted to Fernand Mourlot, who made the selection, supervised the production of the catalogue, and gave endless time and energy to the details of preparation. This album was finished in Paris on 27th october 1964. The original lithographs and the reproductions were printed on the presses of Mourlot. The Imprimerie Nationale, Director André Brignole, was responsible for the typography. The edition has been limited to MM examples on Vélin d'Arches and CC on Vélin de Rives, reserved for the artists, the staff and the friends of the Imprimerie Mourlot.
AKIRA KITO (1925-1994) was a Japanese artist.
Kito was born to a family of artists and began painting when he was sixteen years old. Later he studied in the Western Section at the School of Fine Arts in Tokyo, despite his father and grandfather whose artistic education was based in the traditional ways of Japanese artistry. In 1953, Kito moved to Paris where he studied at the L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts in the “Souverbie class,” practicing Cubism until 1957. During his time in Paris, he engaged in many cultural activities, frequenting the neighborhoods of both Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. His work includes various elements that resemble human faces, but is characterized by his own kind of magic. Throughout his career, Kito’s work was arranged in series imbued with perpetual change in color and form, constantly seeking and burning with an inner fire.
