Notes:
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 a 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 Teriade "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 velin 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 Leon Amiel, New York, publishers.
About the Publication:
Souvenirs et Portraits d'Artistes (Memories and Portraits of Artists), published in 1972 by Editions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, and Leon Amiel, New York, stands as one of the most distinguished collaborative albums of the postwar era. Bringing together original lithographs by some of the foremost artists of the 20th century, the portfolio celebrates artistic friendship, collaboration, and the enduring spirit of creative dialogue. Cavalier tunisien (Tunisian Horseman) by Constantin Terechkovitch exemplifies this spirit, uniting lyrical expression with radiant color and rhythmic design. Printed at the renowned Atelier Mourlot, the work reflects the technical and artistic brilliance that defined mid-century French printmaking.
About the Artist:
Constantin Terechkovitch (1902–1978) was a Russian-born French painter celebrated for his radiant use of color, rhythmic brushwork, and lyrical depictions of modern life that made him a defining figure of the 20th-century School of Paris. Born in Moscow and trained at the Moscow School of Fine Arts, he settled in Paris in 1920, where he joined the city’s legendary avant-garde alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. Immersed in this era of innovation, Terechkovitch forged a distinctive artistic language that blended the emotional freedom of Fauvism, the spiritual lyricism of Chagall, and the dynamic modernism of Miro and Calder. His paintings—marked by sweeping brushwork, radiant tones, and the joyous movement of form—celebrated the beauty of everyday life through scenes of families, lovers, musicians, dancers, and circus performers, transforming ordinary subjects into poetic meditations on light and color. Exhibiting regularly at the Salon d’Automne, the Salon des Independants, and the Salon des Tuileries, he earned widespread acclaim for his ability to merge structure and spontaneity, emotional warmth and compositional precision. His mastery of color, from glowing reds and golds to tranquil blues and greens, gave his paintings a musical quality that conveyed harmony, vitality, and optimism. While many of his contemporaries pursued abstraction, Terechkovitch remained committed to the figure, reinventing it with modern vitality and sensual grace. Internationally recognized by mid-century, he exhibited throughout Europe, the United States, and Japan, and his works were collected by museums and private collectors who admired his fusion of Russian emotionalism and French elegance. His influence extended to later generations of lyrical colorists and figurative modernists, including Andre Brasilier and Gabriel Godard, who were inspired by his balance of structure, rhythm, and feeling. Terechkovitch’s art continues to be celebrated for its joyful humanism, emotional sincerity, and timeless beauty, standing as a testament to his belief that art should reflect the harmony of life itself. Today, his works reside in major collections worldwide, including the Musee d’Art Moderne de Paris, and he is remembered as one of the great lyrical painters of modern Europe. Standing alongside Picasso, Calder, Giacometti, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky, Duchamp, and Man Ray, Terechkovitch remains a master of color and emotion whose art radiates warmth, movement, and poetic grace. His highest auction record was achieved by Les Maries (1957), which sold for $90,816 at Sotheby’s, London, on June 28, 2017, reaffirming his enduring legacy as one of the most elegant, expressive, and collectible modern painters of the 20th century.
