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: Maurice Brianchon (1899–1979) was a French painter, lithographer, illustrator, and stage designer whose luminous color harmonies, poetic sensibility, and refined draftsmanship made him one of the defining figures of lyrical modernism in 20th-century France. Associated with the “Peintres de la Realite Poetique” (Painters of Poetic Reality) and the Second School of Paris, Brianchon developed an artistic language rooted in atmosphere, balance, and emotional depth, offering a serene alternative to the radical experimentation of his era. While influenced by the modernist breakthroughs of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he pursued a uniquely humanist path, fusing classical harmony with modern clarity. Born in Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, Brianchon trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Fernand Cormon and Lucien Simon, whose emphasis on composition and tone deeply shaped his early work. His still lifes, interiors, and portraits radiate quiet lyricism, recalling the chromatic tenderness of Pierre Bonnard and the intimacy of Vuillard, yet maintaining a distinct modern precision. A co-founder of the Poetic Realists alongside Roland Oudot, Andre Planson, Raymond Legueult, and Christian Berard, Brianchon sought to restore beauty, order, and emotion to painting at a time when abstraction and surrealism dominated. His mastery extended beyond the canvas to lithography, collaborating with the famed Mourlot Freres atelier in Paris, where his prints—delicate in tone and musical in rhythm—cemented his reputation among connoisseurs. He also designed sets and costumes for the Comedie-Francaise and the Paris Opera, applying the same balance and chromatic subtlety that define his paintings, and demonstrating an understanding of space reminiscent of Calder’s motion and Duchamp’s conceptual play. During the postwar years, his art achieved even greater maturity, characterized by serene compositions bathed in Mediterranean light, where mood and atmosphere became his true subjects. Works like Le Balcon a Cannes exemplify his poetic modernism, blending restraint and radiance in a vision of timeless calm. Brianchon’s influence extended across generations, inspiring painters who sought to harmonize modern structure with emotional depth, and his works are represented in the Musee National d’Art Moderne, Musee d’Art Moderne de Paris, and Centre Pompidou. Standing alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Brianchon remains celebrated as the painter-poet of serenity and balance—an artist who fused the rational beauty of form with the poetry of color and light. The highest auction record for Maurice Brianchon was achieved with Le Balcon a Cannes, which sold for $163,000 USD at Sotheby’s, Paris, on March 30, 2011, reaffirming his enduring legacy and stature as one of France’s most refined interpreters of 20th-century modernism.
