About the Item

Pierre Tal Coat - Original Lithograph 1976 Dimensions: 32 x 25 cm Revue XXe Siècle Edition: Cahiers d'art published under the direction of G. di San Lazzaro. Tal-Coat's birth name was Pierre Louis Jacob. He was born in Brittany, a fisherman's son, and came to Paris in 1924. He chose the surname Tal-Coat (Breton for "Wood Face") to avoid being confused with the artist and poet Max Jacob. Tal-Coat was one of the most imprtant figures in the post-war School of Paris. One of the founders in the mid-forties of Tachisme, a lyrical abstract movement that was the French version of Abstract Expressionism, his paintings were acclaimed and admired by fellow artists such as Andre Masson. He also wrote on painting. His etchings and lithographs encapsulate the essence of his minimalist paintings.Tal-Coat was awarded the Grand-Prix National des Arts in 1968. His works have been featured in one-person shows at the Galerie de France (1945-1946), the Berne Kunsthalle (1957), the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, Paris (1960), Galerie Claude Bernard, Paris (1963), the Maisons de la Culture du Havre and d'Amiens (1969), Galerie Benador, Geneva (1970, 1972, 1975, and 1979), Galerie l'Entracte, Lausanne (1973), the Musee de Metz (1974), the Musée Royal de Parc Veno, Tokyo (1975), Galerie Karsten Greve, Cologne (1979), Galerie Ditesheim, Neufchatel (1979), and at the Chateau de Ratilly (1979), Musée d'Evreux (1983), Galerie Patrice Trigano, Paris (1983), Musee des Beaux-Arts de Quimper (1985), Maison de la Culture, Bourges (1987), Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes (1988), and Centre National des Lettres, Paris (1988). In 1968, there was a traveling retrospective at the Galeries Benezit, d'Incelli, and Schoeller; in 1976, he was the subject of a career retrospective at the Grand Palais, Paris. From 1954 on, he was primarily represented by the Galerie Maeght, Paris, and was the subject of a number of issues of the deluxe art review, Derrière le Miroir (numbers 64, 82/84, 114, 120, 131, 153, and 199). Finally, we have just learned (compliments of an announcement that Gérard Titus-Carmel is having an exhibition there) that Tal-Coat has had a museum named in his honor, the Galerie Pierre Tal-Coat, Centre Culurel, Hennebont.

Sonia Delaunay - Composition - Original Lithograph
By Sonia Delaunay
Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH
Sonia Delaunay - Composition Original Lithograph 1972 Dimensions: 32 x 25 cm Revue XXe Siècle Cahiers d'art published under the direction of G. di San Lazzaro. Sonia Delaunay was known for her vivid use of color and her bold, abstract patterns, breaking down traditional distinctions between the fine and applied arts as an artist, designer and printmaker. Born Sarah Stern on November 14, 1885 in Gradizhsk, Ukraine, she was adopted in 1890 by her maternal uncle, Henri Terk, a lawyer in St. Petersburg, where she grew up, exposed to music and art, and learning several foreign languages. In 1903, she moved to Germany to study drawing with Ludwig Schmidt-Reutler (1863–1909) at the Karlsruhe academy of fine arts; Arnold Schoenberg (1874–1951), composer-to-be, was among her classmates there. In 1905, she traveled to Paris where she attended art classes at the Académie de la Palette, learned printmaking from Rudolf Grossman (1889–1941), and met Amédée Ozenfant (1886–1966), André Dunoyer de Segonzac (1884–1974), and Jean-Louis Boussingault (1883–1943). Sonia spent much of her time at exhibitions and galleries in Paris, which showed works by Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Pierre Bonnard, and Edouard Vuillard, as well as Les Fauves, Henri Matisse and André Derain. She did, however, maintain contact with Germany, exhibiting at the Galerie Der Sturm, Berlin, in 1913, 1920 and 1921. During her first year in Paris, Sonia met the German collector and art-dealer, Wilhelm Uhde (1874–1947), whom she married on December 5, 1908, and whose Montparnasse gallery, the Galerie Notre-Dame des Champs, showed her first solo exhibition. Through Uhde, Sonia encountered many painters, including Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Robert Delaunay (1885–1941). In 1910, Sonia divorced Uhde by mutual agreement, married Delaunay that same year, and gave birth to their son, Charles, in January 1911. Together Sonia and Robert Delaunay pursued the study of color, influenced by theories of Michel-Eugène Chevreul (1786–1889). Sonia’s interest in simultaneous contrast, as evidenced in her early collages, book bindings, small painted boxes...
