About the Item
"Bal AAAA Bullier" is an original color lithograph poster by Achille-Emile Othon Friesz, signed by the artist in the plate in the lower left. This poster advertises the annual fundraiser ball of the AAAA, L'Aide Amicale Aux Artistes (Friendly Help For Artists) to support the art community. Each year, the AAAA would approach an important contemporary artist to create an original color lithograph for purposes of advertising their fundraiser. As such, these lithographs are a rather important part of European art history in the 20th century for their promotion of contemporary artists and their advocacy for the art community as a whole.

Achille-Émile-Othon Friesz, who later just called himself Othon Friesz, was born in Le Havre in 1879. Early on he was encouraged by his parents to become a painter and as soon as 1892 he began training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Le Havre, where he worked at Charles-Marie Lhullier's workshop. It was there that he met with Raoul Dufy and George Braque, with whom he developed a lasting friendship and travelled. In 1897 Friesz was granted a scholarship and studied until 1903 under Léon Bonnat at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He met with Henri Charles Manguin, Albert Marquet, Henri Matisse and Charles Camoin. Especially his contact to Camille Pissaro influenced Friesz in that period of creativity. The painter made his artistic debut in 1900 at the Salon of the Société des Artistes français. Then he exhibited work in 1904 at the first Salon d'Automne and again in 1906 at the Salon des Indépendants. Over the years Friesz abandoned his former nature-orientated concept in favour of works formed by Fauvism. The artiste travelled extensively, et al. to Portugal in 1911 and to Belgium in 1912. Stays in Munich and Düsseldorf as well as the participation in exhibitions by the Berlin Secession made Friesz's work known in Germany as well. Friesz, who participated in exhibitions not only throughout Europe but also in the Armory Show in New York as well as in Chicago, taught between 1912 and 1921 at the Académie Moderne in Paris, from 1925 at the Académie Scandinave and from 1944 at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. An outstanding late work is the decoration he did with Raoul Dufy for the Palais de Chaillot on the occasion of the world fair in Paris in 1937. Even though the artist used a more traditional, austere technique in his late works, several of his earlier works, especially from 1907, are regarded as the boldest examples of Fauvism.

Achille-Émile Othon Friesz
Othon Friesz was a native of Le Havre France 1879-1949. He was a French artist of the Fauvist movement. He was a good friend of Raoul Dufy and met Matisse, Marquet and Rouault and exhibited with them in 1907. In his later years he painted in a style very different than his earlier years. He respected Cezanne's style of logical composition, simple tonality, solidity of volume and distinct separation of planes and a baroque flavor to his style. He is known for Fauve and traditional painting, landscapes, still lifes and figurative style. He admired the works of modernists. Hi works are in major museums throughout the world.
