Paul Berthon
(b Villefranche, Rhone, 1872; d Paris, 1909)
Little specific is known about the short 37-year life of this French designer and lithographer.
He began his training in Villefranche, where he studied painting. In 1893 he moved to Paris, entering the Ecole Normale d'Enseignement du Dessin. There he became a pupil and disciple of Eugene-Samuel Grasset, the Professor of Decorative Arts, and was also influenced by Luc Olivier Merson. Berthon's main output consisted of posters and decorative panels. However, he also produced bookbindings and furniture designs, both of which he exhibited at the Salon in 1895. He created designs for ceramics for Villeroy & Boch in the late 1890s; and a few designs for the covers of such magazines as L'Image (July 1897) and Poster (May 1899).
His work is in an Art Nouveau style. He adopted that movement's plant and figural motifs, especially the motif of the femme fatale, as well as the long sinuous lines that characterize the movement. These features can be seen in such works as the poster Leçons de violon (1898). Berthon distinguished himself in the production of large, colored posters in the relatively new medium of chromolithography, some of which were printed under the direction of Jules Cheret by Chaix & Company.
The graphic oeuvre of Paul Berthon consists of ninety-four original lithographs. Almost two-thirds of Berthon's original lithographs are what the artist termed, "Panneaux Decoratifs" (Decorative panels). Unlike most Art Nouveau posters, Berthon's panneaux decoratifs included no advertising and no letterpress. They were meant to stand alone as significant works of art in their own right.
A large collection of his work seems to have been destroyed during the world wars. By the start of the First World War the Art Nouveau movement had lost its momentum. The posters of Berthon, Grasset and Mucha were no longer prized possessions, and many of the posters were lost. During the economic depression that followed World War II many of the lithographic posters were used as wallpaper or wrapping paper.
Berthon died in Paris in 1909.

Paul Berthon - Sarah Bernhardt La Princesse Lointaine " The Faraway Princess "
By Paul Berthon
Located in PARIS, FR
Paul Emile Berthon ( 1872- 1909 ), was a French decorative artist.
He began studying painting in Villefranche. From 1893, he moved to Paris, where he attended the École normale d'enseignement du dessin. Among the courses taken at the time, those of the professor of decorative art Eugène Grasset had the greatest impact on him.
The first works of Paul Berthon (around 1896) show a style close to that of Grasset. By freeing himself from the style of his master, his own style develops based on a palette of autumnal pastels with sharp lines and contours.
This is his most famous lithograph, a portrait of Sarah Bernhardt in the title role of "La Princesse Lointaine...

"Têtes Byzantines (Brunette and Blonde)," Alphonse Mucha, Czech Art Nouveau
By Alphonse Mucha
Located in Larchmont, NY
Alphonse Mucha
Têtes Byzantines (Rennert/Weill 40, Variant 1), 1897
Lithograph in colors on wove paper
Each 20 3/4 x 14 1/2 inches
Each sheet 22 x 15 3/4 inches
Provenance:
Private Collection, Long Island
From his very first poster for Gismonda (1894), Mucha's graphic work was marked by Byzantine influences and styles. Mucha regarded Byzantine civilization as the spiritual home of Slavic culture. In his style he incorporated a variety of decorative motifs inspired by Byzantine art, such as mosaic works, icons, sumptuous costumes and accessories. In visually extolling the splendors of ancient Byzantium, Mucha relied on the use of gold and bronze colors, created sumptuous and intricate designs for the jewelry depicted in his images, employed mosaic or mosaic-style decorative elements in many of his works, and elevated his subjects to iconic status by using halos. Anointing these two profiles as "têtes byzantines" confirms his adherence to this impressive influence. These two decorative panels were among the most successful ever published by Champenois, and the printer issued them in many variations. Intended to hang facing each other, the blonde and brunette have cascading hair that bursts through the halos behind them, tantalizingly breaking through Mucha's trademark, mystical circle. With this device, it is as if Mucha’s unreachable beauties have broken the magic border between themselves and their admirers and suggest the possibility that they might, perhaps, meet. The precise yet delicate outlining of their faces is a tour-de-force of design, made even stronger by placing the profiles against a background of geometric, almost floral designs, and Mucha pays extraordinary attention to the detail of the jewelry. It was on the basis of these highly detailed designs that Parisian jeweler Georges Fouquet decided to enlist the help of Mucha for his collection for the 1900 Exposition Universelle.
These were also reproduced or used as part of the artwork on numerous other occasions. For example, they were embossed in color on a program for a performance at the Buffalo Club of Buffalo, New York, held as a part of the Pre-Pan American Exposition Night on December 15, 1900. Less elaborate reproductions appeared on other printed matter, from postcards to menus and letterheads. And even as late as 1983, souvenir hunters in West Germany found the Byzantine heads...

'Trees in Ranchitos II' (New Mexico), Color Lithograph Landscape with Trees
By Andrew Michael Dasburg
Located in Denver, CO
"Tree in Ranchitos II" (New Mexico) is a lithograph initialed lower right by artist Andrew Michael Dasburg (1887-1979) from 1975. Presented in a custom frame measuring 30 ½ x 36 ¼ inches. Image size is 16 ½ x 23 ¼ inches.
About the Artist:
Born France, 1887
Died New Mexico, 1979
Andrew Dasburg was born in Paris, but emigrated to New York City in 1892 with his mother. A childhood sickness left him lame, and his artistic propensities were first recognized by a teacher at the crippled children’s school. She enrolled him in the Art Students League in 1902. There he studied under Kenyon Cox, Frank Vincent Dumond, and Birge Harrison. Later, he began taking night classes from Robert Henri at the New York School of Art.
Dasburg spent 1908-1910 in Paris, where he was introduced to the great impressionist painters Matisse and Cezanne. Inspired by the work of the European modernists, Dasburg returned to the United States, where he moved to Woodstock, New York. In Woodstock, he and his wife, Grace Mott Johnson, lived with Morgan Russell...
