About the Item

Invitation to Marcoussis's solo exhibit inspired by Alcools by Guillaume Apollinaire at the Pierre Gallery from November 18th to 30th, with the artist's interventions (written in green pastel or with ink in china, and glasses and bottles sketch). It includes an envelope with stamps dated 18 November 1935. Since 1930, Marcoussis focuses mainly on engravings, including the Apollinaire Alcohol-inspired etchings, which will be collected and presented to the public by Galerie Pierre. The same Galerie that, ten years earlier, appointed him as one of the emerging artists of Paris (as you can see in the invitation addressed to Pecci Blunt). Works inspired by Tzara's "Indictureur des chemins de cœur", and Lingréres légères and Éluard's Aurélia will follow. At the end of the thirties Marcoussis collaborated with Spanish surrealist Joan Miró who taught him his techniques. In all his works and throughout his life, he remains faithful to the principles of Cubism, but bringing it his chromatic sensibility (especially after 1920). This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 50 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.
