About the Item

Lithograph on vélin d’Arches paper. Inscription: unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Good condition, with centerfold, as issued. Notes: from the folio, Regards sur Paris, 1963. Published by André Sauret, Paris; printed by Mourlot Frères, Paris, January 22: 1963. Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), Original lithographs of André Beaudin, Georges Braque, Maurice Brianchon, Jean Carzou, Marc Chagall, Dunoyer de Segonzac, André Masson, Pablo Picasso, Kees van Dongen, Jacques Villon. Printed completed on January 22: 1963 on the presses de l'Imprimerie Nationale de France, Daniel Gibelin, director. Georges Arnoult, inspector of typography. This work was composed by hand in characters called "Romain du Roi Corps” engraved in 1699 by Grandjean on the order of Louis XIV, the original lithographies were drawn by Mourlot Frères, and the stones erased after printing. Justification of the draw; one hundred and eighty examples on a grand vélin d'Arches décomposant as follows: ten examples, numbered to the press from 1 to 10, including a sequel on japon nacré, the original lithographies signed by the artists and a sequel on Arches; twenty examples, numbered to the press from 11 to 30, including a suite on Arches of the original lithographies; one hundred and twenty examples, numbered from 31 to 150; thirty non-trade examples, marked H.C., reserved for the authors, artists and artisans of the folio. All colophons are signed by the ten authors and the ten artists. ANDRE DUNOYER DE SEGONZAC (1884–1974) was a French painter and graphic artist. In 1947, he published his suite of etchings illustrating the Georgics of Virgil. In the judgement of Anne Distel, chief curator of the Musée d'Orsay, "The technical perfection and the nobility of the tone, which carried the cachet of the original, but was imbued throughout with an unfailing lyricism, make this work Segonzac's masterpiece. It must be included in a list of the most beautifully illustrated books of [the 20th] century." The gossamer quality of his etchings stood in contrast to the thickly painted surfaces and generally somber color of his oil paintings, which reflected his admiration for Courbet and Cézanne. His subjects include landscapes, still lifes, and nudes. He influenced other artists like Samuel Peploe. Prolific until the very end of his life as a painter in oils and watercolor, and as a printmaker, Segonzac died at age 90 in 1974. He was married to the actress Thérèse Dorny.
