Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Clowness and Horse, from The Circus, 1952 (after)
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite lithograph after Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901), titled Clownesse et cheval (Clowness and Horse), originates from the 1952 album The Circus of Toulouse-Lautrec. Published by Paris Book Center, Inc., New York, under the direction and supervision of Andre Sauret, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, this work reflects Toulouse-Lautrec’s incisive observational skill, capturing the theatricality, elegance, and rhythmic grace associated with the spectacle of the circus ballet. In Clownesse et cheval (Clowness and Horse), Lautrec conveys poise and expressive movement through his signature economy of line, expressive contour, and psychological nuance. Executed as a lithograph on velin paper, this work measures 9.25 x 12.125 inches (23.49 x 30.8 cm). Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. Printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, one of the foremost ateliers of the 20th century.

There has been published of this english edition of The Circus of Toulouse-Lautrec, MD examples, numbered from I to MD.

About the Publication: The Circus of Toulouse-Lautrec, published in 1952 by Paris Book Center, Inc., under the direction and supervision of Andre Sauret and printed by Mourlot Freres, is one of the most historically significant postwar fine art albums devoted to the artist’s graphic work. The album presents lithographic renderings based on Lautrec’s original drawings and studies, executed with exceptional fidelity to the artist’s gestural clarity, compositional dynamism, and psychological insight. Conceived as a deluxe fine art album, the edition brought together Lautrec’s dynamic portrayals of acrobats, riders, clowns, animal trainers, dancers, and circus performers, offering a vivid window into the spectacle, discipline, and theatricality of the late nineteenth-century circus tradition. Printed at the prestigious atelier Mourlot—renowned for its collaborations with leading modernists—the album reflects a postwar commitment to reviving and preserving the lithographic legacy of master artists. Today, The Circus of Toulouse-Lautrec stands as a landmark in fine art publishing, prized by collectors for its craftsmanship, historical importance, and the rare opportunity it offers to experience Lautrec’s circus imagery in an elegant, carefully supervised edition. About the Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, and illustrator celebrated for his vivid and empathetic depictions of Parisian nightlife during the Belle Epoque. A master observer of character and movement, Toulouse-Lautrec chronicled the bohemian world of Montmartre—its cabarets, performers, dancers, and cafes—with a revolutionary use of color, composition, and line that redefined both fine art and commercial design. His iconic posters for the Moulin Rouge and other venues not only captured the exuberant energy of modern urban life but also elevated lithography to the level of high art. Despite his physical frailty due to a congenital condition, his creative output was prolific and profoundly influential, shaping the evolution of modern visual culture. Inspired by the expressive realism of Honore Daumier, Edgar Degas, and Edouard Manet, as well as the vivid color and composition of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Toulouse-Lautrec absorbed and transformed these influences into a bold, modern visual language uniquely his own. He worked and exhibited among many of the most important artists of his time, including Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, and Paul Signac, and his work stands in lasting dialogue with the great modern masters who followed—Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kantinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—each of whom shared his drive to reinvent art for the modern age. His paintings, drawings, and lithographs are represented in major museums worldwide, including the Musee dOrsay, the National Gallery, the Tate, and MoMA, where they continue to captivate audiences for their psychological depth and timeless vitality. The highest price ever paid for a Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec artwork is approximately 22.4 million USD, achieved in 2005 at Christies London for La Blanchisseuse (1886–87).

Located in Southampton, NY

Jeanie Warnod captures Pascin’s delicate mastery of line and his profound sensitivity to the human form, embodying the poetic lyricism and emotional intimacy that define his work. Executed as a lithograph on grand velin Renage paper, this work measures 12.25 x 9.5 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Mourlot Freres, Paris, and the exceptional production standards of Editions du livre, Monte-Carlo. Artwork Details: Artist: After Jules Pascin (1885–1930) Title: Jeanie Warnod, from the album Pascin Medium: Lithograph on grand velin Renage paper Dimensions: 12.25 x 9.5 inches (31.1 x 24.1 cm) Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued Date: 1954 Publisher: Editions du livre, Monte-Carlo, under the direction of Andre Sauret, Editeur, Monte-Carlo Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album Pascin, published by Editions du livre, Monte-Carlo, 1954 Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This album, published under the direction of Andre Sauret, was completed on March 3, 1954. The color plates were executed in the workshops of Mourlot Freres, lithographes, in Paris. Typography of L'Imprimerie Union. The original etchings attached to the C head examples were printed on Roger Lacouriere's presses. The total edition was drawn in MM examples, decomposing as follows: C examples numbered from I to C with III original etchings, MCM examples from CI to MM. About the Publication: Pascin, published in Monte-Carlo in 1954 under the direction of Andre Sauret and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, stands as one of the most refined tributes to the artist’s oeuvre within the distinguished postwar series of French art albums. The album combines impeccable lithographic craftsmanship with scholarly presentation, highlighting the poetic subtlety and expressive line central to Pascin’s artistic legacy. Printed on grand velin Renage paper, the publication exemplifies the collaboration between Sauret and Mourlot that defined a generation of fine art editions, uniting artists, printers, and publishers dedicated to preserving the vitality of modern art in print. The album reflects the technical mastery of Mourlot’s atelier—celebrated for its work with Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Braque, and Léger—while reinforcing Editions du livre’s commitment to producing luxurious, museum-quality publications that captured the spirit and emotion of twentieth-century masters. As a fine art album, Pascin occupies a central place among mid-century European art editions, representing both a celebration of the artist’s humanistic vision and a testament to the collaborative artistry that sustained modern printmaking. About the Artist: Jules Pascin (1885–1930) was a Bulgarian-born French painter and draftsman whose exquisite sensitivity, refined draftsmanship, and poetic vision made him one of the most evocative and influential figures of early modern art. Known as “the Prince of Montparnasse,” Pascin became a central figure of the Ecole de Paris and a defining presence in the bohemian world of early 20th-century Paris. Born Julius Mordecai Pincas in Vidin, Bulgaria, to a wealthy Sephardic Jewish family, he studied in Vienna and Munich before moving to Paris in 1905, where he quickly established himself among the leading modernists of his era, including Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine, Georges Braque, and Marc Chagall. Deeply influenced by Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cezanne, Pascin created paintings and drawings distinguished by their delicate lines, soft tonal harmonies, and psychological depth. His nudes, portraits, and scenes of Parisian cafe life radiate an atmosphere of quiet intimacy and emotional nuance, capturing the fragility and beauty of human existence. Unlike contemporaries such as Picasso, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, and Man Ray, who pushed toward abstraction and surrealism, Pascin remained devoted to figuration, exploring the subtleties of light, gesture, and emotion with unmatched tenderness. His works express sensuality without artifice, revealing the vulnerability and inner life of his subjects through line and color that seem to breathe with human feeling. His studio became a gathering place for artists and writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Henry Miller, and Anais Nin, who admired his introspection and his ability to translate psychological complexity into visual poetry. Though his life was marked by emotional turbulence and melancholy, his art radiated a timeless empathy that transcended style, influencing later artists including Balthus, Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Egon Schiele, and Eric Fischl, who drew inspiration from his fusion of sensuality, sensitivity, and psychological depth. Today, his works are held in major institutions including the Centre Pompidou, Musee d’Orsay, Tate Modern, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where they continue to resonate for their humanism and grace. Standing alongside Picasso, Calder, Giacometti, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky, Duchamp, and Man Ray, Jules Pascin helped define the emotional vocabulary of modern painting, and his legacy endures as one of the most intimate and humanist voices of his century. The highest auction record for Jules Pascin was achieved by Portrait de jeune fille en robe rouge sur fond bleu (1928), which sold for $2,950,500 USD at Sotheby’s, New York, on May 8, 2008, confirming his enduring reputation as one of the most refined, psychologically profound, and collectible artists of modern art history.

About the Publication: Pascin, published in Monte-Carlo in 1954 under the direction of Andre Sauret and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, stands as one of the most refined tributes to the artist’s oeuvre within the distinguished postwar series of French art albums. The album combines impeccable lithographic craftsmanship with scholarly presentation, highlighting the poetic subtlety and expressive line central to Pascin’s artistic legacy. Printed on grand velin Renage paper, the publication exemplifies the collaboration between Sauret and Mourlot that defined a generation of fine art editions, uniting artists, printers, and publishers dedicated to preserving the vitality of modern art in print. The album reflects the technical mastery of Mourlot’s atelier—celebrated for its work with Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Braque, and Léger—while reinforcing Editions du livre’s commitment to producing luxurious, museum-quality publications that captured the spirit and emotion of twentieth-century masters. As a fine art album, Pascin occupies a central place among mid-century European art editions, representing both a celebration of the artist’s humanistic vision and a testament to the collaborative artistry that sustained modern printmaking. About the Artist: Jules Pascin (1885–1930) was a Bulgarian-born French painter and draftsman whose exquisite sensitivity, refined draftsmanship, and poetic vision made him one of the most evocative and influential figures of early modern art. Known as “the Prince of Montparnasse,” Pascin became a central figure of the Ecole de Paris and a defining presence in the bohemian world of early 20th-century Paris. Born Julius Mordecai Pincas in Vidin, Bulgaria, to a wealthy Sephardic Jewish family, he studied in Vienna and Munich before moving to Paris in 1905, where he quickly established himself among the leading modernists of his era, including Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine, Georges Braque, and Marc Chagall. Deeply influenced by Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Paul Cezanne, Pascin created paintings and drawings distinguished by their delicate lines, soft tonal harmonies, and psychological depth. His nudes, portraits, and scenes of Parisian cafe life radiate an atmosphere of quiet intimacy and emotional nuance, capturing the fragility and beauty of human existence. Unlike contemporaries such as Picasso, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, and Man Ray, who pushed toward abstraction and surrealism, Pascin remained devoted to figuration, exploring the subtleties of light, gesture, and emotion with unmatched tenderness. His works express sensuality without artifice, revealing the vulnerability and inner life of his subjects through line and color that seem to breathe with human feeling. His studio became a gathering place for artists and writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Henry Miller, and Anais Nin, who admired his introspection and his ability to translate psychological complexity into visual poetry. Though his life was marked by emotional turbulence and melancholy, his art radiated a timeless empathy that transcended style, influencing later artists including Balthus, Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Egon Schiele, and Eric Fischl, who drew inspiration from his fusion of sensuality, sensitivity, and psychological depth. Today, his works are held in major institutions including the Centre Pompidou, Musee d’Orsay, Tate Modern, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where they continue to resonate for their humanism and grace. Standing alongside Picasso, Calder, Giacometti, Dali, Miro, Kandinsky, Duchamp, and Man Ray, Jules Pascin helped define the emotional vocabulary of modern painting, and his legacy endures as one of the most intimate and humanist voices of his century. The highest auction record for Jules Pascin was achieved by Portrait de jeune fille en robe rouge sur fond bleu (1928), which sold for $2,950,500 USD at Sotheby’s, New York, on May 8, 2008, confirming his enduring reputation as one of the most refined, psychologically profound, and collectible artists of modern art history.
