About the Item

Woodcut on vélin d'Arches paper. Inscription: signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued. Good condition. Notes: from the folio, Vingt fables de La fontaine, 1961. Published by Éditions Jaspard Polus et Cie, Monaco; printed by Imprimerie du Compagnonnage, Paris, October, 1961, in an edition of 299. JEAN PICART LE DOUX (1902-1982) was born in Paris. He received no specialized vocational training after a few courses in private academies, he made his debut in the bookbinding and publishing. In 1933, he abandoned publishing for graphic arts and advertising. He exhibited his first works in 1935 at the Galerie Billiet-Vorms and until 1940, extending its activities in this area, he participated in various events and so he obtained the 1st Prize of the Theatre Poster. The meeting in 1940 with Jean Lurcat was decisive for him—he was therefore passionately interested in the revival of the tapestry without sacrificing graphic arts , and run in 1944 for Leleu, his first cartons (decoration of the liner ship "La Marseillaise"). In 1946, he took part in the great exhibition of the Museum of Modern Art. He was the general secretary of the journal Plans. Jean Lurçat and Marc Saint- Saëns gathered around him in 1947 to create the Association of painters cartonniers tapestry.
