About the Item

Mountains in Canton Grigioni is a beautiful lithograph on ivory-colored paper, realized by Albert Marquet (Bordeaux, 1875 - Paris,1947). Hand-signed in pencil on the lower right margin. Numbered in Roman numerals on the lower left in pencil, II/V edition. Image Dimensions: 12 x 11.5 cm. A modern artwork of rare edition created through deft strokes with a picturesque mountain. Excellent conditions with cardboard Passepartout included. Albert Marquet (Bordeaux, 1875 - Paris,1947), French painter and close friend of Henri Matisse, Marquet is often associated with the Fauves; nevertheless, some critics consider his art closer to that of Édouard Manet and the Impressionists. After 1909, he calmed the chromatic violence of his earliest works, and began using simplified forms and wide brushstrokes; he painted nudes, but most of all fluvial and marine landscapes. Marquet is considered a landscapist who painted scenes of Paris and of the lands he visited. The French painter often incorporated sea or rivers in his artworks, boasting his expert rendering of the silvery quality of light reflecting on water (like in Port de Marseille, 1924). “Marquet combined a sure grasp of form, a sensitive and skillful exploitation of dramatic effects of light, and a feeling for color that managed to be sober and rich at the same time.” In an article of the New York Times of 1953, Howard Devree describes Albert Marquet in these words.
