Arlequin Assis - Musée du Gemmail de Tours (after) Pablo Picasso, 1964

1964

About the Item

This poster was produced for a museum exhibition of major contemporary artists of the time at the Musée du Gemmail in Tours, France in 1964. The work chosen to promote the exhibit is "Seated Harlequin", a painting from 1923. It was deftly translated into lithography by Mourlot Master Printer, Henri Deschamps, with the supervision and approval from Pablo Picasso. The Italian characters known as zanni, or servants, were a part of Stravinsky's opera for the Ballet Russes, but of all of them, Harlequin is the smarter zanno. Picasso’s depictions of Harlequin do not show a theatrical Harlequin. Picasso’s Harlequins are off-stage and the artist’s depictions are portraits of distinguished and intelligent individuals. Another version is illustrated in the catalog for a show in Lausanne, Switzerland, however it is still referenced in the index. Ref. Czwiklitzer # 238 A. Ed. 1,000 Certificate of Provenance: Each individual work of art carefully curated by Mourlot Editions comes with a Certificate of Provenance, signed, dated, stamped, and numbered by Eric Mourlot. This certificate guarantees the origin and authenticity of your personal lithograph.

Modulor by Le Corbusier, 1962 - Original Lithograph Poster
By Le Corbusier
Located in New York, NY
Artist: Le Corbusier Medium: Original Lithograph, 1956/62 Dimensions: 29 x 21.5 in, 73.7 x 54.6 cm Arches Paper with Mourlot watermark - Excellent condition A Le Corbusier’s relationship with Mourlot started as early as the mid thirties. The artist was always interested in editions of all sorts, whether furniture, tablewear or lithographic. It all related to a new modern way of life and intrinsic to his architecture. In fact, the famous Modulor is the iconic image in Le Corbusier’s work as it is the basis for his architectural work. As in many other cases, the Master’s philosophy was very democratic and he felt that while a few proofs should be signed, the others should be signed directly in the plate so that it could be affordable to as many people as possible. He wanted not only collectors, but regular home owners to have access to an artwork of quality but reasonably priced, just as he wanted them to afford his furniture designs. It was all about Modernity ushering a brave new world. This rare Le Corbusier lithograph...
