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: Moise Kisling (1891–1953) was a Polish-born French painter celebrated for his luminous portraits, sensual nudes, and poetic still lifes that defined the refined beauty of the Ecole de Paris. A master of color, form, and emotional subtlety, Kisling created a body of work that bridges classical grace and modern vitality, embodying the elegance of humanism within the avant-garde movement. Born in Krakow, Poland, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under Jozef Pankiewicz before moving to Paris in 1910, where he became a beloved figure in the Montparnasse art scene alongside Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, and Jules Pascin. Known as the “Prince of Montparnasse,” Kisling balanced the expressive daring of modernism with the compositional harmony of tradition, influenced by and in dialogue with leading artists of his generation including Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His portraits of women, marked by their serene expressions, elongated forms, and soft tonal modeling, convey an intimacy and psychological depth that distinguish his work from the abstraction and surrealism of his contemporaries. His nudes glow with a delicate sensuality, blending Ingres’s precision with Modigliani’s warmth, while his still lifes and landscapes reveal an exquisite balance of structure and color reminiscent of Cezanne yet infused with personal lyricism. Kisling’s deep friendship with Modigliani was particularly formative, their mutual respect reflected in Modigliani’s celebrated 1916 portrait of Kisling, which immortalized their artistic kinship. A naturalized French citizen after serving with valor in the French Foreign Legion during World War I, Kisling became one of the most sought-after artists of interwar Paris, exhibiting internationally and earning acclaim for his refined, atmospheric compositions. Forced to flee Nazi-occupied France during World War II, he lived in New York, where his art took on a new emotional resonance—tinged with nostalgia for Paris and the lost world of Montparnasse—before returning to France in 1946. His later works, painted in Sanary-sur-Mer, radiate serenity, light, and meditative grace. Kisling’s influence endures in the figurative tradition through artists such as Balthus, Bernard Buffet, and Jean Jansem, who drew inspiration from his fusion of modern structure and timeless emotion. His works are now held in major museums including the Musee d’Art Moderne de Paris, the Petit Palais, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, as well as prominent private collections worldwide. Standing alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Moise Kisling remains a defining voice of early modernism—an artist whose radiant harmonies of color and form continue to celebrate the beauty, humanity, and spirit of modern art. The highest auction record for Moise Kisling was achieved with Nu sur le divan, which sold for $3,524,000 USD at Sotheby’s, New York, on November 4, 2004, reaffirming his lasting legacy as one of the most refined and emotionally resonant painters of the 20th century.
