About the Item
The circa 1960 estampe by Etienne Poirier titled "Ra dieu Egyptien dieu du Soleil" is a captivating piece that blends the timeless allure of Egyptian mythology with modern artistic techniques. This artwork, featuring the Egyptian sun god Ra, is distinguished by its use of gold leaf on paper, creating a luminous and striking visual effect.
Etienne Poirier's rendition of Ra is both elegant and minimalistic. The figure of Ra, depicted in a traditional seated pose with arms raised, is rendered in a stylized silhouette that captures the deity's divine and regal nature. The gold leaf, meticulously applied, adds a sense of opulence and reverence to the piece, making the figure of Ra stand out brilliantly against the textured paper background.
The choice of gold leaf is particularly significant in this context. In ancient Egyptian culture, gold was considered the flesh of the gods, symbolizing immortality and divinity. By using gold leaf, Poirier not only honors this tradition but also infuses the artwork with a sense of timeless majesty and spiritual significance.
The background paper, with its subtle texture and warm tone, complements the gold leaf and enhances the overall aesthetic of the piece. The interplay between the gold and the natural fibers of the paper creates a harmonious balance, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure while also allowing the background to contribute to the composition's depth and richness.
This particular estampe is further personalized by the artist's dedication and signature. The inscription, "pour Anne et René" (for Anne and René), adds a personal touch, suggesting that the artwork was created with specific individuals in mind. Poirier's handwritten signature affirms the piece's authenticity and adds to its historical and artistic value.

Lithographie Originale de Jean Lurçat des années 50 - Le Colibri
By Jean Lurçat
Located in PARIS, FR
Belle lithographie de Jean Lurçat.
Créateur infatigable, Lurçat est un artiste aux multiples facettes : peintre, poète, illustrateur, il se passionne pour les techniques de la céramique et de la tapisserie dont il est le plus illustre représentant du XXe siècle.
Engagé dans son époque, et passionnément curieux du monde, Jean Lurçat est né dans les Vosges à Bruyères, où Lucien, receveur des postes, et Charlotte engendrent une descendance de créateurs : Jean le peintre et André l’architecte.
Jean Lurçat se forme dans l’atelier de Victor Prouvé, chef de file de l’École de Nancy, puis vient s’immerger dans l’effervescence artistique et intellectuelle de Paris, il a alors vingt ans. Il complète sa formation en marge des circuits officiels, fonde avec des amis la revue Les feuilles de mai, et décide alors d’entamer une carrière de peintre fresquiste, mais le projet tourne court à cause de la guerre. Jean Lurçat, engagé volontaire, subit le sort terrible des fantassins ballottés dans la tourmente : cela le marquera à vie.
Un Lurçat, impatient et ne tenant pas en place, s’exprime durant la décennie des années vingt. Il se fait connaître par sa peinture, en France et aux Etats-Unis. Peintre de renommée internationale, il figura parmi les artistes les plus significatifs de son temps, tout en restant en marge des courants esthétiques contemporains. Il collabore avec Pierre Chareau, architecte-décorateur connu par l’intermédiaire de ses amis Jean et Annie Dalsace, les commanditaires de l’iconique maison de verre rue Saint-Guillaume. Il produit aussi de grands canevas brodés par son épouse et donne des projets de tapis.
La collectionneuse Marie Cuttoli fait tisser à Aubusson des tapisseries d’après des œuvres de Lurçat et des autres artistes de sa collection, et cette expérience ouvre la voie de la renaissance de la tapisserie par son ambition esthétique. Parallèlement, aux Manufactures nationales, un salon des Illusions d’Icare est tissé ; destiné à l’ambassade de France en URSS, il ne sera jamais mis en place à cause de la guerre.
Lurçat, à cette époque, abandonne la peinture de chevalet. L’étape décisive est franchie lorsqu’il s’approprie la technique de la tapisserie de lisse et s’implique dans la technique du langage de la laine. L’Apocalypse d’Angers qu’il découvre en 1938 confirme son intuition. Il perçoit le potentiel immense et l’originalité de cet art. Grosseur du point, gamme limitée et carton chiffré, il n’aura de cesse de prôner les avantages d’une méthode qui revient aux fondamentaux de la technique du Moyen âge, période qu’il estime celle des plus grands chefs...
