Fernand Mourlot...Hidden are delighted to announce that we are officially working in collaboration with the famous L'Atelier Mourlot. Mourlot were the most celebrated art printers of the 20th century. Fernand Mourlot was synonymous with the resurgence of lithography, a process that under his influence attracted the greatest artistic masters of the age.
This poster features the image La Leçon de Philétas from Chagall's celebrated lithographic suite Daphnis et Chloé, published in 1961. This suite of forty-two prints took Chagall three years to produce and is unquestionably his defining work as a printmaker. Based on the 2nd century text by Longus, it follows the trials and tribulations of two childhood friends as they grow up and fall in love. In addition to the source material, Chagall drew inspiration from the vibrant landscapes of the Mediterranean.
This piece of work has come directly from the Mourlot archive and is signed and dated by Eric Mourlot, Fernand Mourlot's grandson. On the reverse, this piece has the Mourlot studio's blindstamp. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, also signed and dated by Eric Mourlot.
