About the Item

Tchelitchew is an original lithograph on ivory paper, realized by Pavel Tchelitchew and hand-signed. In very good conditions. This artwork represents an autographed dedication by the artist to Countess Pecci Blunt, called Mimì by her friends. In the lower center, we find the address GALERIE RIVE GAUCHE DU 6 AU 30 NOVEMBER 1956 44, RUE DE FLEURUS - PARIS-VI EDITION. On the right margin of the lithograph the artist's hand signature, followed by the dedication in red. Pavel Fyodorovich Tchelitchew (1898-1957) was a Russian-born surrealist painter, set designer and costume designer. Tchelitchew moved to Paris in 1923 and became acquainted with Gertrude Stein. His interest in creating multimedia experiences during this period that drew together painting, film, and dance, led to collaborations with ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev and choreographer George Balanchine.His first U.S. show was of his drawings, along with other artists, at the newly opened Museum of Modern Art in 1930. From 1940 to 1947, he provided illustrations for the Surrealist magazine View, edited by Ford and writer and film critic Parker Tyler. His most significant work is the painting Hide and Seek, painted in 1940–42, and currently owned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.Tchelitchew's early painting was abstract in style, described as Constructivist and Futurist and influenced by his study with Aleksandra Ekster. He was known for camouflaging bodies and faces into geometric lines or landscaped forms on artwork. He used abstractionism and symbolism to convey both the outer and inner appearance of the object.
