About the Item

This exquisite lithograph by Paul Guiramand (1926–2007), titled Le port de New York (The Port of New York), 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 composition captures Guiramand’s lyrical fusion of color, light, and rhythm, evoking the vibrancy and grandeur of the New York harbor through an elegant balance of abstraction and figuration. The dynamic interplay of form and tone reveals his ability to transform modern life into a poetic visual symphony. 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 highlights Guiramand’s refined contribution to mid-century French lithography.

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 Du-thuit-Matisse and her brothers have allowed us to use an unpublished original lithograph.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, Paul Guiramand, 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: Paul Guiramand (1926–2007) was a French painter, lithographer, and printmaker whose radiant mastery of color, light, and composition established him as one of the most refined and lyrical voices of postwar European modernism. Born in Saint-Quentin, France, Guiramand studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Maurice Brianchon, where he absorbed both classical technique and the avant-garde innovations of the 20th century. Influenced by the revolutionary achievements of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he developed a distinctive visual language that bridged abstraction and figuration with elegance and emotion. His art is characterized by luminous color fields, delicate linework, and an intuitive sense of rhythm, evoking both serenity and movement in equal measure. A central figure in the postwar School of Paris, Guiramand belonged to a generation that sought to restore beauty, humanity, and lyricism to painting after the devastation of war. During the 1950s and 1960s, he achieved international acclaim for his vibrant lithographs and paintings produced at the famed Atelier Mourlot in Paris—the same studio that collaborated with Picasso, Miro, Calder, Chagall, and Matisse—where he refined his mastery of color balance and texture. His subjects—ethereal figures, still lifes, and dreamlike landscapes—reveal a painter of great sensitivity who translated visual experience into poetic abstraction. Exhibited widely throughout Europe and the United States, Guiramand’s work was celebrated for its balance of intellectual structure and emotional depth, its lyrical interplay between color and form, and its timeless sense of harmony. His style influenced later generations of lyrical abstractionists and colorists who admired his ability to unite modernist innovation with sensual grace. Today, his works are held in major public and private collections, including the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and continue to attract collectors worldwide for their refinement and vitality. His highest auction record was achieved by Nu allonge sur fond rouge (1966), which sold for 20,700 USD at Sotheby’s, Paris, on December 5, 2008, confirming Paul Guiramand’s enduring legacy as one of the most elegant, poetic, and collectible French modernists of the 20th century.
