Executed as a lithograph and pochoir on grand velin d'Arches special paper, this work measures 12.75 x 10 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the precision and craftsmanship of Daniel Jacomet’s atelier and the painterly sophistication of Villon’s mature style.

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.

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: 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.
