About the Item
Presenting a remarkable set of fifteen original lithographs by renowned French painter François Gilot, sourced from the poetry book "Pages d'Amour" written by André Verdet and published by Raison d'être editions in 1951. These lithographs were expertly printed by Mourlot, a prominent printing house in France, as part of a limited edition of 366 copies.
Each lithograph is a testament to Gilot's artistic mastery and exhibits her distinctive style. The collection is housed in individually framed compositions, crafted by a skilled artisan framer in Barcelona using black painted wood frames. Please note that the frames and lithographies may vary slightly as each piece is unique, and the framing process will be completed upon purchase. The accompanying photos serve as approximate representations of the final framing presentation.
In good original condition, the lithographs bear minor wear consistent with their age and use, enhancing their character and preserving a captivating patina.
François Gilot, born on November 26, 1921, is a distinguished French painter renowned for her artistic talent and her tumultuous relationship with Pablo Picasso, with whom she had two children. While Gilot's professional career as an accomplished artist in watercolors and ceramics flourished, her social celebrity overshadowed her artistic pursuits. Following her separation from Picasso, he attempted to hinder her artistic recognition by discouraging galleries from acquiring her work and unsuccessfully trying to block her memoir, "Life with Picasso."
Fernand Mourlot, born on April 5, 1895, played a significant role in the printing industry. He joined the family business, "Imprimerie J. Mourlot," alongside his father and older brothers after completing his studies at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs. The Mourlot Studios expanded under his leadership, and he collaborated with renowned artists and writers to produce illustrated books and lithographic posters. The studios gained recognition for their expertise in artistic printing, creating high-quality posters for notable exhibitions at French and international museums.
Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to own a collection of François Gilot's original lithographs, meticulously printed by Mourlot and presented in unique frames, showcasing the beauty and artistic prowess of these timeless pieces.

Françoise Gilot
Françoise Gilot studied English Literature at Cambridge University, and then, encouraged by her father, studied international law, though she secretly also took art lessons at the same time.
In 1943, during her first exhibition in Paris, Gilot (then 21) met Pablo Picasso (who was 61) for the first time. In 1946, Gilot started a 10-year relationship with him and had two of his children, Claude and Paloma.
As a result of her relationship with Picasso, Gilot became both a witness and a participant in one of the last great periods of the modern art movement in Europe. Their circle included poets, philosophers, writers, and many of the legends of the art world, such as Braque, Chagall, Cocteau and Matisse.
In 1953, Gilot left Picasso and the home they shared in Vallauris and moved back to Paris.
"Lithographs are printed from stones and each stone is an echo of my artistic voice," said Gilot. "Many artists use their art as a personal catharsis. I have never done that. I am more intellectual. Each artistic process — oils, lithographs, monotypes — allows me a different freedom and suits a different mood."
While Gilot did her first lithograph in 1950 at the Mourlot Atelier, the same studio used by Picasso, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró and Jean Dubuffet, it was in the 1970s that she really began to experiment with the process.
"In the beginning, I turned to lithography because I wanted to show off my technical skills. Now I am more interested in color," said Gilot. "I also thought that lithographs would make my works more accessible to young collectors."
Gilot’s work can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, the Musée Picasso and other institutions.

Set of Six Original Maison Balmain Gouaches from the 1970-1980 Collection
By Pierre Balmain
Located in Washington, DC
Vintage set one-of-a-kind haute couture gouache fashion sketches by the Parisian Balmain Fashion House circa 1970.
Fashion Designer Bio:
Perre Alexandre Claudius Balmain (1914-1982) was a well-known designer from France and the founder of Balmain fashion house. He was and still is known for his elegance and sophistication. Balmain studied architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts, but he spent most of his time designing apparel. From 1934-1939 Balmain worked with Edward Molyneux (fashion designer) who offered him a trial. Balmain then worked after the War with Lucien Lelong and established his own fashion house that displayed bell-shaped and small waist skirts. This was a look that became famous later on through the brand Christian Dior. A family friend, Gertrude Stein wrote a commemorative piece on Balmain for Vogue magazine and following this an order was placed by the Duchess of Windsor. By 1951, Balmain opened various branches of his label across America to sell his prêt-a-porter collections. During this time, he popularized some unique trends such as stoles, evening wear and he made sheath dresses with jackets a fad in the fashion market. He was talented in creating both simple and extravagant clothes, all with the similar aesthetics of graceful and slender lines. Pierre Balmain also created fragrances. For his astounding creations and designs, he was nominated for Best Costume Designer by the Tony Award and Balmain received the Drama Desk Award for designing outstanding costumes for Happy New Year Broadway production in 1980. He designed costumes for Sophia Loren for The Millionaires, 1960 and Josephine Baker for her eponymous revue, 1964. He designed costumes for sixteen films and designed clothes for actresses Mae West and Vivien Leigh. His classic couture dresses are still chic and sought after among international movie stars and socialites such as Kristin Davis...
