About the artist: Marcel Mouly was born in Paris on 6th February 1918. He was a French painter and printmaker. In 1931, at the age of 13, Mouly left school and started work. In 1935, he began taking night classes at an art Academy in the Montparnasse district of Paris until he was conscripted into the French military in 1938. In 1940, during the occupation of France, Mouly returned to civilian life and, along with fellow artist Vichy Edouard Pignon, rented the Boulogne studio of famed modernist sculptor Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973) who introduced Mouly to Cubism. In 1945 Mouly's paintings were exhibited (alongside paintings by Matisse) at the Salon d'Automne in Paris, he took part in the open art forums of the Ecole de Boulogne, and studied with Leger, Pignon, and Bertin. The following year, he exhibited at the Salon du Mai. By the mid-1940s, Mouly's art began to gain notoriety from his peers and collectors and his first solo exhibition was held at the Libraire Bergamesque in 1949. By the mid 1950s Mouly was an established painter with his own unique style. He then began to work as a printmaker. The work of Marcel Mouly is held in more than 20 museums, including in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, Japan and Helsinki, the Museum of Geneva and Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale. He has also been the subject of numerous books, and recognized by such honors as the Chevalier de L'Orde des Arts et Lettres (1957) and the Premier Prix de Lithographie (1973). Mouly is also famed to been the last surviving student of Pablo Picasso. The art historian and writer Joseph Jacobs wrote (of Mouly's work) "It is an art about beauty and life, an art about the more familiar and comfortable world we live in and know. In this respect, Mouly is quintessentially French, his roots firmly planted in the School of Paris. Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Rouault, Vlaminck, Chagall, Vuillard, and Dufy are his patrimony, and he has carried their mantel with unflagging dedication."

Verdes, Loir et Cher, France
Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork titled "Verdes, Loire et Cher, France" is an original lithograph by American artist Teall (La Verne Teall) Messer, 1897-1977. It is hand signed, titled, dated and numbered 36/40 in pencil by the artist. The image size is 10.65 x 13.65 inches, the sheet size is 14 x 21.5 inches. It is in excellent condition, especially considering the age of this piece. About the artist: Born in Dixon Illinois in 1897, Teall Messer dropped the name Lavern as soon as he came "of age". He went to New York to be an artist and intellectual. He hung out with the playwrights of the time and ended up with an award from the Rockefellers to go to Paris and study painting. This was in the 1920's. He stayed for several years in Paris being the stereotypical American painter there. He had contact with at least some of the famous painters and shared a studio with Alexander Calder. One story was that he and Alexander were dating two French sisters. The girls' mother told them to drop the Americans as they would never make much money. That was true for Teall, not so for Calder. He also knew Brancusi well enough to have a signed sketch dedicated "á Teall Messer avec amour". He knew Gertrude Stein well enough to heartily dislike her, considering her a phony. In France Teall married a member of the Byrd...
