About the Item

This exquisite lithograph by Fritz Glarner (1899–1972), titled Tondo, 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, originates from the 1964 edition published by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, in collaboration with the Embassy of France, Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, October 27, 1964. This work exemplifies Glarner’s precision and philosophical depth, translating his theory of “Relational Painting” into lithographic form. Through his interplay of color, proportion, and structure, Tondo embodies the equilibrium between rational order and visual rhythm that defined his contribution to geometric abstraction. Executed as a lithograph on velin d'Arches paper, this work measures 10 x 7.5 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Mourlot Freres and reflects Glarner’s ability to merge the intellectual rigor of Neo-Plasticism with the expressive vitality of modern abstraction.

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 Du-thuit-Matisse and her brothers have allowed us to use an unpublished original lithograph.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, Fritz Glarner, 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: Fritz Glarner (1899–1972) was a Swiss-American painter and one of the most influential masters of geometric abstraction, whose visionary synthesis of structure, proportion, and color bridged the rational precision of European modernism with the expressive vitality of postwar American art. Born in Zurich, Glarner trained in Italy and France before moving to Paris in 1923, where he became immersed in the avant-garde circle surrounding Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miro, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Salvador Dali, Alberto Giacometti, and Man Ray—artists whose radical innovations profoundly shaped his thinking about form, rhythm, and spatial harmony. Deeply influenced by the spiritual geometry of Piet Mondrian and the De Stijl movement, Glarner developed his own concept of “Relational Painting,” a theory based on the dynamic equilibrium of color and proportion, in which geometric elements interacted in rhythmic tension rather than static balance. After emigrating to the United States in 1936, he became a leading figure among the American Abstract Artists group and a central force in introducing Neo-Plasticism to a new generation of modernists. His paintings—distinguished by interlocking planes of red, blue, yellow, gray, white, and black bounded by dynamic black lines—embody a delicate interplay of mathematical order and emotional resonance, infusing geometry with human warmth and movement. Glarner collaborated with architect Philip Johnson on a monumental mural for the Rockefeller family’s Sutton Place residence, exemplifying his lifelong belief in the unity of art and architecture, and his works entered major collections at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim, and the Art Institute of Chicago. His relational theories influenced postwar abstraction and inspired artists such as Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, Agnes Martin, and Bridget Riley, while his aesthetic philosophy of balanced dynamism continues to echo through modern design and minimalism. Today, Glarner is celebrated for transforming Neo-Plasticism into a living, humanized art form that stands alongside the achievements of Picasso, Calder, Giacometti, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky, Duchamp, and Man Ray in shaping the language of twentieth-century modernism. The highest auction record for Fritz Glarner was achieved with Relational Painting No. 88, which sold for 437,000 USD at Sotheby’s, New York, on November 11, 2015, confirming his enduring legacy as one of the great architects of modern geometric abstraction.
