Jean Hélion
Jean Hélion, pseudonym of Jean Bichier, is a French painter and engraver, born April 21, 1904 in Couterne and died October 27, 1987 in Paris. His complex artistic itinerary passed, a rare case, from abstract art sometimes close to Piet Mondrian1 to figurative art. He helped introduce abstract art to the United States. Jean Hélion has always been able to express in his works his youthful spirit through the vivacity of the colors and the rhythm of his compositions. Hailed in the 1960s by the new generation of painters, that of Gilles Aillaud or Eduardo Arroyo, he is today considered the precursor of the New German Fauves of the 1970s and the figurative ones of the 1980s. above all his work of the 1930s and 1950s.

L'inspiré Self Portrait Marc Chagall Valentina Vava Lithograph 1963 Mourlot 398
By Marc Chagall
Located in Eversholt, Bedfordshire
Inspiration or L'inspiré - The artist and his wife, self-portrait.
This is a self-portrait of the great artist, depicting him as lost in thought before one of his paintings, which is apparently related to his home country Russia, as suggested by the small figure in the lower right of the work. Chagall’s wife Valentina (“Vava”), who was also from Russia, is looking over his shoulder, full of longing. The small surreal elements that are characteristic of Chagall’s paintings are also present here: the silhouettes of the houses that seems to stick out of the painting and a figure with a flute or trombone standing on its head.
Chagall Lithographe, Volume II of the catalogue raisonné of Chagall's lithographic work, see Mourlot 398, 1957-1962, Paris 1963, imprinted by Imprimerie Mourlot for the publisher André Sauret. A lithographic plate from the catalog that was published in 10,000 copies.
