About the Item
This exquisite lithograph after Jacques Villon (1875–1963), titled Portrait d'une jeune fille (Portrait of a Young Girl), originates from the 1972 edition published by Editions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, in collaboration with Leon Amiel, editeurs, New York, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, April 5, 1972. This elegant composition captures Villon’s mastery of geometric rhythm, color balance, and emotional restraint. Portrait d'une jeune fille reflects his lifelong exploration of the relationship between form and feeling, translating Cubist order into lyrical harmony. The work embodies Villon’s refined sense of structure and transparency—qualities that mark his art as both analytical and poetic.
Executed as a lithograph on velin d’Arches paper, this work measures 12.81 x 9.81 inches (32.54 x 24.92 cm). Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of the Mourlot Freres atelier, renowned for its collaboration with leading modern artists of the 20th century.

Notes:
Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This album is the album of friendship, and I want to thank all the artists who wanted to participate. Some lithographs presented here, and whose authors have left us for too long, were made at my request for an album "Adieu a la rue de Chabrol" that I intended to publish ten years ago. So it was at this time that I was able to get the lithos of Braque, Cocteau, Derain, Giacometti and Villon. Mrs. Duthuit-Matisse and her brothers authorized me to print the composition of Henri Matisse, an unused original lithograph of the album by Teriade "La Religieuse portugaise". I am happy to have brought together so many works by contemporary artists, it is a great honor for me and I am infinitely grateful to them. Finished printing in Paris on April 5, 1972, this album was printed on velin d’Arches, in DCCC numbered examples. In addition, a number of copies were printed for artists, friends and collaborators of this album. The original lithographs were printed by Mourlot, and the typography is from Fequet and Baudier. Alain A.C. Mazo, Paris, and Leon Amiel, New York, publishers.
About the Publication:
Souvenirs et Portraits d'Artistes (Memories and Portraits of Artists), published in 1972 by Editions A. C. Mazo et Cie., Paris, and Leon Amiel, New York, stands as one of the most distinguished collaborative albums of the postwar era. Bringing together original lithographs by some of the foremost artists of the 20th century, the portfolio celebrates artistic friendship, collaboration, and the enduring spirit of creative dialogue. Portrait d'une jeune fille (Portrait of a Young Girl) after Jacques Villon exemplifies this spirit, uniting Cubist structure and lyrical balance in a masterful study of form and emotion. Printed at the renowned Atelier Mourlot, the work reflects the technical and artistic brilliance that defined mid-century French printmaking.
About the Artist:
Jacques Villon (1875–1963) was a French painter and printmaker whose pioneering fusion of Cubism, color theory, and lyrical abstraction made him one of the key architects of modern art. Born Gaston Emile Duchamp in Damville, France, he was the eldest brother of Marcel Duchamp and Raymond Duchamp-Villon, and together they became one of the most influential artistic families of the 20th century. Adopting the pseudonym Jacques Villon, he carved out an independent identity as a visionary who bridged the analytical rigor of Cubism with the emotional freedom of abstraction. After moving to Paris in the 1890s, Villon immersed himself in the avant-garde circles of Montmartre and later the Puteaux Group—also known as the Section d’Or—alongside Fernand Leger, Francis Picabia, Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, and his brother Marcel. Influenced by Paul Cezanne and working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, and Man Ray, Villon sought to reconcile scientific order and spiritual beauty through geometry, rhythm, and color. His early mastery of etching and aquatint earned him acclaim as a printmaker, while his paintings from the 1910s onward—such as Portrait of Marcel Duchamp (1913), The Rider (1914), and Composition Abstraite (1919)—demonstrated a unique Cubist lyricism characterized by transparent planes, interlocking forms, and a prismatic use of light. Over the following decades, he transformed Cubism’s intellectual structure into a radiant, harmonious abstraction that anticipated mid-century lyrical and color field painting. Like Kandinsky and Miro, Villon believed that art could evoke music’s spiritual depth through pure form, while his chromatic harmonies inspired later artists such as Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Nicolas de Stael, Hans Hartung, and Victor Vasarely. Recognized internationally, Villon exhibited at the Venice Biennale, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and in 1956 received the Grand Prize for Painting at the Venice Biennale for his lifetime achievements. His influence extended far beyond painting—his geometric precision and luminous palette shaped later movements including lyrical abstraction, Op Art, and postwar modernism. A deeply poetic thinker, Villon merged intellect and emotion, science and beauty, transforming mathematical order into visual harmony. His art remains celebrated for its timeless grace, uniting the logic of Cubism with the lyricism of color. Standing alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Jacques Villon is remembered as a central figure in the evolution of modern art—a master whose elegant compositions continue to inspire collectors and creators worldwide. His highest auction record was achieved by Composition (Abstraction) (1919), which sold for $2.7 million at Sotheby’s, New York, on November 7, 2018, reaffirming his legacy as one of the most refined, visionary, and collectible artists of the 20th century.
