Excerpted from the volume, This book 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.

MAURICE BRIANCHON (1899-1979) began his official art training at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in 1917. Early public recognition of his talent came when, at the age of 23, he was appointed a member of the committee of the Salon d'Automne. By 1934 Brianchon's career was established. The 1950s brought Brianchon national and international acclaim. The Musee des Arts Decoratifs presented a retrospective exhibition of his work at the Palais du Louvre in 1951. His first American exhibition was hosted by David Findlay Galleries in New York in 1959. In the following two decades Brianchon began spending less time in Paris and more time at his country home in Perigord which eventually affected his paintings. The dynamic images of horse races, theater stages and street scenes painted by the young artist enamored with city life were gradually replaced by the equally beautiful, though more relaxed and contemplative, landscapes and still lifes of a mature artist savoring his elder years in the country. Brianchon continued to exhibit regularly in the art-centers of the world until his death in 1979. He was a contemporary of Picasso, Chagall and Matisse.

  • Derain, Au Jardin d'Allah, Verve: Revue Artistique et Littéraire (after)
    By André Derain
    Located in Auburn Hills, MI
    Lithograph on vélin du Marais paper. Inscription: Signed in the plate, with additional lithography by the artist on verso. Good condition. Notes: From the volume, Verve: Revue Artistique et Littéraire, Vol. I, N° 4, 1939. Printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, 1939. ANDRE DERAIN (1880-1954) had a major role in the development of two of the most significant artistic movements of the early-20th century. He, Henri Matisse, and Maurice de Vlaminck were responsible for generating works with a totally new style which would become Fauvism and his association with Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque was integral to early Cubism. Nevertheless, his contribution as the generator of the ideas behind these movements is constantly debated, and some consider his work derivative. This is due in part to the fact that, continually in search of artistic meaning and attempting to create a timeless art removed from the specificity of the modern age, he experimented with different stylistic idioms. Whichever side of the Derain debate you end up on, we can all appreciate his use of expressive vibrant color, his simplification of form, and his fascination with primitive art were constants throughout his work and played a major role in the creation and propagation of early Modern Art.
