This elegant composition captures Brasilier’s poetic balance between abstraction and figuration, evoking the grace and harmony of his equestrian themes through luminous color and rhythmic form. His mastery of lithography reflects both technical precision and spiritual calm, transforming visual movement into a serene meditation on nature and beauty. Executed as a lithograph on velin d'Arches paper, this work measures 10 x 7.5 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of Mourlot Freres and showcases Brasilier’s lyrical contribution to postwar French modernism.

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. Herve 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 Carre, 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 Du-thuit-Matisse and her brothers have allowed us to use an unpublished original lithograph.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 Adhemar, Curator of prints at the Bibliotheque 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 Andre Brignole, was responsible for the typography. The edition has been limited to MM examples on Velin d'Arches and CC on Velin de Rives, reserved for the artists, the staff and the friends of the Imprimerie Mourlot. About the Publication: Prints from the Mourlot Press, published in Paris by Fernand Mourlot in 1964 in collaboration with the Embassy of France and the Smithsonian Institution, celebrated the profound artistic partnerships that defined 20th-century printmaking. The portfolio accompanied a traveling exhibition organized by the Smithsonian’s National Collection of Fine Arts and presented at major institutions across the United States between 1964 and 1965. Containing twenty-four original lithographs by leading modern artists—including Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Fernand Leger, Andre Brasilier, and Jean Cocteau—the publication chronicled the collaborative artistry of Mourlot Freres, whose Paris workshop elevated lithography to a fine art. Each plate demonstrated the mastery of color, composition, and craftsmanship that defined postwar printmaking, while the edition itself stood as a symbol of Franco-American cultural exchange. About the Artist: Andre Brasilier (born 1929) is a French painter, lithographer, and printmaker whose poetic synthesis of abstraction, figuration, and emotion has established him as one of the most enduring artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Over a career spanning more than seven decades, Brasilier has created a visual language defined by lyrical movement, spiritual calm, and a profound harmony between man and nature. Born in Saumur, France, into an artistic family—his father, Jacques Brasilier, was also a painter—he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and won the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome in 1953 at the age of twenty-three, an achievement that marked the beginning of a life dedicated to art and beauty. His compositions, often described as visual music, unite the emotion of Expressionism with the refinement of classical design, featuring recurring motifs such as horses, women, landscapes, and musicians that symbolize grace, love, and freedom. Deeply influenced by modernist masters including Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Brasilier absorbed their innovations in form, movement, and abstraction while developing a serene and timeless style that is uniquely his own. Like Miro and Kandinsky, he translated emotion into rhythm and color; like Picasso and Calder, he celebrated vitality and spontaneity; and like Giacometti and Duchamp, he explored the metaphysical balance between presence and spirit. His luminous palette of soft blues, pinks, greens, and ochres evokes the atmosphere of dawn and twilight, infusing his paintings with meditative clarity and emotional resonance. Over the decades, Brasilier has exhibited in more than one hundred solo exhibitions around the world, including major retrospectives at the State Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, the Musee Picasso in Antibes, and leading galleries in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong. His tranquil and harmonious vision has inspired generations of artists seeking to unite abstraction with lyricism, making him a central figure in modern lyrical abstraction. Standing alongside the greats—Picasso, Calder, Giacometti, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky, Duchamp, and Man Ray—Brasilier continues to embody the enduring human search for beauty and peace through art. The highest auction record for Andre Brasilier was achieved with Les Amoureux au bord de la mer, which sold for 1,162,000 USD at Sotheby’s, Hong Kong, on April 5, 2019, cementing his status as one of the most beloved and collectible French artists of his generation.
