About the artist.
Jacques Villon was born Gaston Duchamp on July 31, 1875, in Damville, Normandy. His family is one of remarkable artistic repute; he and his three siblings Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, and Suzanne Duchamp would all make important contributions to 20th-century art. While still a lycée student in Rouen, he began his artistic training under his grandfather, Emile Frédéric Nicolle, a shipbroker and artist. Nicolle taught Villon engraving and printmaking, and in 1891 he was the subject of one of Villon’s earliest prints. In January 1894 Villon moved in with his brother Raymond in Paris’s Montmartre neighborhood and began to study law at the University of Paris. He soon lost interest in legal studies and instead spent his time submitting drawings to various magazines and newspapers, some of which were politically oriented. He changed his name to Jacques Villon (an homage to French medieval poet François Villon). In 1895 he began study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and frequented the Atelier Cormon.
For almost 10 years Villon worked largely in graphic media, contributing drawings to Parisian illustrated papers and making color prints and posters. In 1903 he helped organize the drawing section of the first Salon d’Automne, which would become one of the most significant annual exhibitions in the history of modern art. His first gallery exhibition, shared with his brother Raymond, took place at Galerie Legrip, Rouen, in 1905. He studied at the Académie Julian in Paris between 1904 and 1905, painting in a Neo-Impressionist style. In 1906 Villon settled in Puteaux and began to spend more time painting; by 1910 he had devoted himself primarily to painterly pursuits. In 1911, he and Duchamp-Villon helped found the Puteaux Group, a collective of Cubist artists that held meetings in Villon’s studio; its participants included Robert Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, Albert Gleizes, František Kupka, Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia, and others. The following year, working with the Puteaux Group, Villon named and helped mount the Salon de la Section d'Or, a seminal exhibition in the development of the Cubist movement.
Villon exhibited nine paintings at the 1913 New York Armory Show, and his first solo exhibition in the United States was held at the Societé Anonyme, New York, in 1921; by the 1930s he was better known in the U.S. than in Europe. In 1932 he joined and began to exhibit with the Abstraction-Création group. An important presentation of his work was held in Paris in 1944 at the Galerie Louis Carré, from that time forward his exclusive representative. Villon received honors at a number of international exhibitions, including First Prize at the Carnegie International (1950) and Grand Prize for Painting at the Venice Biennale (1956). In 1955 he designed stained-glass windows for a cathedral in Metz, France, along with his contemporaries Marc Chagall and Roger Bissière. The work of Jacques Villon can be find in major collections and museums worldwide including the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Villon died in Puteaux on June 9, 1963, at the age of 87.

Jacques Villon
Jacques Villon was born Gaston Duchamp in 1875. He was the oldest brother of the artists Marcel Duchamp, Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti and the sculptor Raymond Duchamp-Villon. Initially a law student, in 1894 he went to Paris to study art. It was there that he met Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and other influential artists in Paris, and changed his name to Jacques Villon, after the poet. Villon made prints of some of the most well-known belle-époque portraits and genre scenes of the early twentieth century. Around 1911, he came under the influence of Picasso and other cubists, and became a leading exponent of the style, exhibiting in the 1913 Armory Show in New York. In 1922, the Galerie Bernheim-Jeune commissioned Villon to produce a series of color aquatints after 38 major nineteenth- and twentieth-century paintings. This series included works by Pierre Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne, Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy, Amadeo Modigliani, Edouard Manet, Pierre Bonnard, and others. Artists who were alive at the time of the printing collaborated with Villon, and signed the prints. The project took ten years to complete. Several of these prints are valued highly today, and some went on to be reproduced by the Louvre Museum as photo-etchings. Villon's 'cubist' etchings, with their characteristic cross-hatching, are amongst the most renowned prints of the twentieth century. Jacques Villon's long career brought him fame. The diverse nature of his paintings, from end-of-the-century portraits to cubist and abstract styles to graphic works, made him a major figure in twentieth-century art. He was made a Grand Officer of the Légion d'Honneur, and upon his death in 1963, and he was given a state funeral.

This exceptional geometric abstract serigraph is by the noted Iraqi/American artist George Chemeche (1934-2022 ). He is a master of serigraph printing, but this print has more than technical excellence. It is a wonderful, rhythmic abstract composition. I believe Chemeche might have been a proponent of and/or influenced by the Pattern and Decoration Movement which was happening in New York in the 1970s and 1980s. The print has never been framed and is in very good condition. I will ship the print rolled in a heavyweight tube.
George Chemeche was born in 1934 and studied at the Avni Art School in Tel Aviv and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. The style with which he is intimately associated, pattern painting, The most serviceable definition is that pattern is the systematic repetition of a motif or motifs used to cover a surface uniformly. The spaces between motifs are either other motifs or are an integral part of the repeat. Usually, patterning intentionally acknowledges the decorative function of art, reconciling both the decorative and the meaningful.
George Chemeche’s work hangs in the lobby of the Hotel Chelsea where many have admired it for years. Please search online for more biographical information by this fine artist.
