About the Item

Lithograph on vélin d'Arches paper. Paper Size: 12.81 x 9.81 inches. Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Notes: From the album, Souvenirs et Portraits d'Artistes, 1972. Published by Éditions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, in collaboration with Léon Amiel, éditeurs, New York; printed by Mourlot Frères, Paris, April 5, 1972. Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This album is the album of friendship, and I want to thank all the artists who wanted to participate. Some lithographs presented here, and whose authors have left us for too long, were made at my request for an album "Adieu à la rue de Chabrol" that I intended to publish ten years ago. So it was at this time that I was able to get the lithos of Braque, Cocteau, Derain, Giacometti and Villon. Mrs. Duthuit-Matisse and her brothers authorized me to print the composition of Henri Matisse, an unused original lithograph of the album by Tériade "La Religieuse portugaise". I am happy to have brought together so many works by contemporary artists, it is a great honor for me and I am infinitely grateful to them. Finished printing in Paris on April 5, 1972, this album was printed on vélin d'Arches, in DCCC numbered examples. In addition, a number of copies were printed for artists, friends and collaborators of this album. The original lithographs were printed by Mourlot, and the typography is from Fequet and Baudier. Alain A.C. Mazo, Paris, and Léon Amiel, New York, publishers. CHARLES LAPICQUE (1898-1988) was a French artist. He was mobilized to fight in the First World War and was eventually awarded the Croix de Guerrein 1918. The following year, he began engineering studies in Paris. During this period, the strong impulse he felt for Art led him to devote much of his time to self-taught painting. This proves to be a profound need that leads him to abandon his engineering career to devote himself full-time to the practice of painting. Lapicque held his first solo exhibition in 1929, at the Jeanne Bucher Gallery, following an invitation from its founder to join the gallery's group of artists. His works, between the years 1939 and 1943, were instrumental in the development of non-figurative painting. It was during this period that Charles Lapicque met the philosopher Gabriel Marcel who introduced him to Jean Wahl, initiating his philosophical and aesthetic reflection. Since his youth, Lapicque developed a particular taste for music, which led him to practice the clarinet, bassoon and trombone, and took part of several amateur ensembles. In 1953, he was awarded the Raoul Dufy Prize at the Venice Biennale. In 2021, Charles Lapicque's painting, Portrait d'un Tigre, sold for $384,463 USD at Sotheby's London, setting a world record for the artist.
