Georges Duhamel, the L'Academie francaise, Grand Officier du Tastevin, Paris, and printed by l'atelier Jacomet, Paris, November 17, 1956 Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), M.

It was pulled CCCLXXX examples on velin d'Arches special, numbered from I to XXX examples, including an original watercolor from Uzelac, a suite on Japan from the off-text of the book, a suite on Japon from the variants of Uzelac, and two original etchings, one signed by Bertin and the other by Uzelac. Numbers of XXXI in examples with a continuation on Japon of the illustrations of the book and the variant and an original etching by Bertin. Issues from LI to CCCLXXX examples on velin d'Arches special. About the Publication: Vins, Fleurs et Flammes (Wines, Flowers, and Flames) was published in 1956 by M. Georges Duhamel, Grand Officier du Tastevin of the Academie francaise, as a celebratory homage to the literary and artistic culture of Burgundy and the French brotherhood of the Knights of Tastevin. The edition, printed by Daniel Jacomet at his renowned Paris atelier, combined pochoir and lithographic processes to achieve the vivid texture and color modulation that defined Jacomet’s mastery in reproducing modern art. Conceived as a poetic and pictorial exploration of French viticulture, passion, and ritual, the volume united essays, drawings, and color plates by leading artists and writers. Each example was printed on luxurious grand velin d'Arches special paper and issued in multiple states, including copies featuring original watercolors and etchings by contemporary masters such as Uzelac and Bertin. The publication embodies the postwar revival of the fine art book in France—an intersection of literature, art, and craftsmanship that bridged the creative traditions of Parisian ateliers with the literary refinement of the Academie francaise. Its issuance at the Clos de Vougeot in Burgundy marked the symbolic union of French artistic and cultural heritage, celebrating the spiritual and sensual pleasures of creation. About the Artist: Gen Paul (1895–1975) was a French painter, draftsman, and engraver whose explosive energy, emotional depth, and mastery of movement made him one of the most distinctive and original voices in 20th-century modernism. Born Eugene Paul in Montmartre—the artistic heart of Paris—he grew up surrounded by the bohemian culture of Picasso, Utrillo, Valadon, and Modigliani, absorbing the avant-garde spirit that would shape his art. A self-taught painter who began his career after being severely wounded in World War I, Gen Paul transformed his physical suffering into a powerful artistic force, developing a style that merged Cubist structure, Fauvist color, and Expressionist emotion. His compositions—portraits of musicians, dancers, and the bustling life of Montmartre—vibrate with kinetic energy, bold brushwork, and musical rhythm, capturing the pulse of modern Paris in motion. Drawing inspiration from Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he nonetheless remained fiercely individual, rejecting strict movements in favor of intuitive, gestural expression. His works, filled with dynamic color and fractured geometry, anticipated the spontaneity of postwar abstraction and the emotional immediacy of Abstract Expressionism. Deeply admired by contemporaries such as Jean Cocteau, Fernand Leger, and Raoul Dufy, Gen Paul’s art stood as a living testament to resilience and creative freedom, bridging early modernism with later movements of lyrical abstraction. Exhibiting widely across Europe and America, his paintings earned renewed recognition in the postwar years, influencing artists like Nicolas de Stael, Pierre Soulages, and Karel Appel through their synthesis of structure and emotion. Today, his works are held in major museums including the Centre Pompidou and the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, celebrated for their vitality and expressive immediacy. Standing among the great innovators of his time—Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—Gen Paul remains a vital figure in the story of 20th-century modern art, a visionary who painted life with rhythm, courage, and unrestrained passion. The highest auction record for Gen Paul was achieved with Musiciens (Musicians), which sold for $204,000 USD at Sotheby’s, Paris, on March 31, 2011, reaffirming his enduring importance as one of France’s most dynamic interpreters of modern life.
