About the Item

This exquisite lithograph by Charles Lapicque (1898–1988), titled Hommage a Dufy (Homage to Dufy), from the folio Lettre a mon peintre Raoul Dufy (Letter to My Painter Raoul Dufy), originates from the 1965 edition published by Librairie academique Perrin et Cie, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, July 22, 1965. Hommage a Dufy embodies Lapicque’s radiant synthesis of science and art, celebrating Raoul Dufy’s lyrical modernism through a chromatic symphony that fuses rhythmic abstraction with intellectual precision. Executed as a lithograph on velin papeteries Arjomari-Prioux paper, this work measures 11.75 x 9.375 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Mourlot Freres and the exceptional production standards of mid-century French art publishing.

About the Publication: Lettre a mon peintre Raoul Dufy (Paris: Librairie academique Perrin et Cie, 1965) is a distinguished folio honoring Raoul Dufy (1877–1953), printed on July 22, 1965, by Mourlot Freres, Paris. Conceived as a refined homage to Dufy’s lyrical modernism, the folio comprises twenty-seven lithographs on velin Arjomari paper, executed d’apres Dufy and his contemporaries—including Jacques Villon, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Marcel Gromaire, Bernard Buffet, Charles Lapicque, Andre Marchand, and Jean Lurcat—thereby situating Dufy within the broader lineage of twentieth-century French art. The project reflects both the technical mastery of Mourlot’s atelier and the mid-century Parisian ideal of merging painterly tribute with fine-print craftsmanship, affirming Dufy’s enduring influence on modern visual culture. About the Artist: Charles Lapicque (1898–1988) was a French painter and theorist whose rare fusion of scientific insight, poetic color, and rhythmic abstraction made him one of the most original and influential voices in 20th-century modern art. Born in Theize, France, Lapicque trained as an engineer and physicist before fully devoting himself to painting, a scientific foundation that deeply informed his revolutionary approach to light, movement, and color. His background in optics and mathematics allowed him to translate scientific precision into visual poetry, developing a pictorial language that replaced linear perspective with chromatic vibration and dynamic energy. In Paris, Lapicque moved within the avant-garde circles of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists whose daring experimentation shaped the evolution of modern art and resonated with his own desire to unite structure and emotion. His mature style, marked by radiant hues and fluid spatial rhythm, bridged Fauvism, Cubism, and lyrical abstraction, creating compositions that seemed to pulse with musicality and light. By the 1940s and 1950s, Lapicque had become a leading figure in the Ecole de Paris, exhibiting widely in Europe and abroad, and helping to define the revival of color-driven modernism in postwar France. Rejecting rigid forms, he created canvases that celebrated the sensory experience of vision itself—landscapes, seascapes, and mythological scenes transformed into radiant symphonies of form and color. His intellectual curiosity and expressive freedom influenced later generations of abstractionists, from Jean Bazaine and Serge Poliakoff to lyrical colorists and design innovators who admired his balance of rigor and emotion. A master of color theory, Lapicque viewed painting as both a scientific inquiry and a spiritual pursuit, believing that color could embody vibration, movement, and energy. His works were exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries, the Venice Biennale, and the Musee National d’Art Moderne, which hosted a major retrospective in 1972, and are now held in collections at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Collectors and scholars alike continue to revere his art for its luminosity, intellect, and modern vitality. His highest auction record was achieved by Portrait d’un Tigre (1961), which sold for $384,463 at Sotheby’s, London, in March 2021, reaffirming Charles Lapicque’s enduring reputation as one of the most visionary and collectible French modernists of the 20th century.
