About the Item

This exquisite lithograph after Max Jacob (1876–1944), titled Le vin de la Cene (The Wine of the Last Supper), from the folio Vins, Fleurs et Flammes (Wines, Flowers, and Flames), originates from the 1956 edition published by M. Georges Duhamel, the L'Academie francaise, Grand Officier du Tastevin, Paris, and rendered and printed by Daniel Jacomet at l'atelier Jacomet, Paris, November 17, 1956. The composition reveals Jacob’s profound spiritual symbolism and poetic sensibility, uniting sacred imagery with modernist design in a luminous meditation on ritual and faith. 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 intellectual elegance of Max Jacob’s multidisciplinary vision.

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. Georges Duhamel from the L'Academie francaise, Grand Officier du Tastevin has received for all of his work, and in particular for his collaboration on Vins, Fleurs et Flammes, A Travers Nos Vignes, the literary prize of the brotherhood of the Knights of Tastevin for 1956, done and given at the Castle of the Clos de Vougeot in Burgundy, November 17, 1956. 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: Max Jacob (1876–1944) was a French poet, painter, and critic whose visionary imagination, spiritual depth, and intellectual daring made him one of the defining figures of the early 20th-century Parisian avant-garde. A central link between Symbolism, Cubism, and Surrealism, Jacob bridged literature and visual art with a genius that profoundly influenced modernism. Born in Quimper, Brittany, he moved to Paris in 1894 and became a central member of the Bateau-Lavoir circle alongside Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Georges Braque, and Amedeo Modigliani. His lifelong friendship with Picasso profoundly shaped both artists: Jacob provided the philosophical and mystical framework that fueled Cubism, while Picasso’s innovations inspired Jacob to experiment with the interplay of word and image. His 1917 literary masterpiece Le Cornet a des (The Dice Cup), illustrated by Picasso, introduced a radically new poetic language of fragmented imagery and dreamlike logic that prefigured Surrealism. As a painter, Jacob’s work combined Cubist geometry with Symbolist color and spiritual metaphor, translating emotion into rhythmic harmonies of shape and tone. Deeply influenced by the modernist revolution led by Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he shared their belief in art as a metaphysical exploration of reality. Following a vision of Christ in 1915, Jacob converted from Judaism to Catholicism, and his subsequent poetry and painting became increasingly mystical, blending humor and holiness, intellect and transcendence. A mentor to younger writers such as Andre Breton and Paul Eluard, he anticipated the Surrealist movement and influenced generations of artists who sought to reconcile faith, intuition, and modern form. His interdisciplinary works—painted poems, watercolors, and illustrated manuscripts—blurred boundaries between art and text decades before conceptual art emerged. Arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 during the Nazi occupation of France, Jacob died at the Drancy internment camp, a tragic martyr to the creative and spiritual ideals he championed. Today, his works are held in the Centre Pompidou, Musee d’Orsay, and Musee d’Art Moderne de Paris, and his writings remain central to modernist thought. Revered by contemporaries and later artists alike, Max Jacob stands among modern visionaries such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray as a poet-mystic whose art fused intellect, humor, and divinity into one radiant whole. The highest auction record for Max Jacob was achieved with Tete de femme, which sold for $58,000 USD at Sotheby’s, Paris, on June 4, 2014, affirming his lasting legacy as one of the most imaginative and spiritually resonant figures in modern art.
