About the Item

This exquisite lithograph by Andre Beaudin (1895–1979), titled Feuilles evades (Escaped Leaves), originates from the 1972 edition published by Editions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, in collaboration with Leon Amiel, editeurs, New York, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, April 5, 1972. This graceful and lyrical composition exemplifies Beaudin’s poetic abstraction and mastery of rhythmic form. Feuilles evades captures the natural vitality of leaves in motion through elegant linework, organic balance, and chromatic harmony. The work reflects Beaudin’s sensitivity to the unity of nature and geometry, evoking both musical fluidity and structural precision—hallmarks of his refined modernism. Executed as a lithograph on velin d’Arches paper, this work measures 12.81 x 9.81 inches (32.54 x 24.92 cm). Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of the Mourlot Freres atelier, renowned for its technical mastery and collaborations with leading artists of the 20th century. Artwork Details: Artist: Andre Beaudin (1895–1979) Title: Feuilles evades (Escaped Leaves), 1972 Medium: Lithograph on velin d’Arches paper Dimensions: 12.81 x 9.81 inches (32.54 x 24.92 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1972 Publisher: Editions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, in collaboration with Leon Amiel, editeurs, New York Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the edition published by Editions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, in collaboration with Leon Amiel, editeurs, New York, 1972 Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This album is the album of friendship, and I want to thank all the artists who wanted to participate. Some lithographs presented here, and whose authors have left us for too long, were made at my request for an album "Adieu a la rue de Chabrol" that I intended to publish ten years ago. So it was at this time that I was able to get the lithos of Braque, Cocteau, Derain, Giacometti and Villon. Mrs. Duthuit-Matisse and her brothers authorized me to print the composition of Henri Matisse, an unused original lithograph of the album by Teriade "La Religieuse portugaise". I am happy to have brought together so many works by contemporary artists, it is a great honor for me and I am infinitely grateful to them. Finished printing in Paris on April 5, 1972, this album was printed on velin d’Arches, in DCCC numbered examples. In addition, a number of copies were printed for artists, friends and collaborators of this album. The original lithographs were printed by Mourlot, and the typography is from Fequet and Baudier. Alain A.C. Mazo, Paris, and Leon Amiel, New York, publishers. About the Publication: Souvenirs et Portraits d'Artistes (Memories and Portraits of Artists), published in 1972 by Editions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, and Leon Amiel, New York, stands as one of the great collaborative undertakings of postwar French printmaking. Conceived as a celebration of artistic friendship and creativity, the album features original lithographs by some of the foremost modern artists of the century. Feuilles evades by Andre Beaudin perfectly embodies the album’s lyrical spirit—its elegant abstraction uniting natural rhythm and compositional clarity. This publication remains a testament to the enduring creative partnerships between artists and master printers at the Atelier Mourlot, capturing the refinement and poetic sensibility that defined the golden age of French lithography. About the Artist: Andre Beaudin (1895–1979) was a French painter, sculptor, and draftsman whose refined synthesis of Cubism, lyrical abstraction, and modern harmony positioned him among the most poetic and sophisticated artists of the 20th century. Born in Mennecy, France, Beaudin studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, where he absorbed the structural innovations of early Cubism under the profound influence of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, while also engaging with the vibrant avant-garde community that included Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Beaudin’s work evolved from Cubist geometry into a fluid, organic abstraction characterized by rhythmic lines, radiant color, and balanced spatial composition. His paintings and sculptures reveal a lyrical sensitivity—structured yet graceful, intellectual yet deeply emotional—that distinguished him from both his contemporaries and successors. Working in the thriving postwar Parisian art scene, Beaudin helped bridge the gap between the analytical precision of early modernism and the expressive freedom of mid-century abstraction. His art, infused with light and musicality, often drew inspiration from nature—birds, flora, and celestial forms rendered in dynamic harmony—and his biomorphic forms shared affinities with Miro and Calder, though his tone remained more contemplative and inward. Exhibited internationally at the Salon des Independants, the Venice Biennale, and the Musee National d’Art Moderne, his work garnered critical acclaim for its purity and rhythmic balance. Beaudin’s influence extended to later artists of the Ecole de Paris and the lyrical abstraction movement, including Jean Bazaine, Serge Poliakoff, and Alfred Manessier, who admired his ability to unite geometric clarity with spiritual depth. His works reside in major institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and remain highly sought after by collectors for their elegance and timeless modernity. His highest auction record was achieved by Composition abstraite (1949), which sold for $97,075 at Christie’s, Paris, on June 2, 2021, confirming Andre Beaudin’s enduring legacy as one of the most lyrical, balanced, and visionary modernists of the 20th century.
