He carries many of his themes a step further into an apocalyptic world, a world of revelation and shifting lights. … He works on large blocks in a bold free style. … His work has a vigor, therefore, that is not often used in the medium today.” —Jacob Kainen (painter, critic, and collector) from Richard J. Powell’s 1986 essay Phoenix Ascending: The Art of James Lesesne Wells. James Lesesne Wells was an American painter, printmaker, educator, and pioneering figure of the Harlem Renaissance, whose work established a vital connection between African heritage, modernist form, and African American cultural identity. Known for his innovative use of linoleum and woodblock printing, Wells played a key role in shaping 20th-century African American art and inspired countless students throughout his lengthy career as a teacher at Howard University. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Wells' early exposure to the arts came through church and community, where African American cultural traditions were central. He pursued formal artistic training at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania (earning a B.A. in 1924), followed by studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Barnes Foundation, where he encountered European modernists as well as traditional African sculpture, which profoundly influenced his style. Wells moved to New York in the late 1920s, swiftly immersing himself in the lively artistic and intellectual scene of Harlem. There, he became associated with artists, writers, and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance, contributing to the growth of Black cultural identity. Considered a mentor to many famed artists of the Harlem Renaissance, Wells served as director of a summer art workshop in Harlem where his assistants included Charles Alston, Jacob Lawrence, and Palmer Hayden...

This exquisite lithograph and pochoir after Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), titled Les Trois Musiciens (The Three Musicians), from the album, Pablo Picasso, 1930, originates from the 1930 edition published by Editions des Chroniques du Jour, Paris, and printed by L'Atelier Desjobert, Paris, 1930. Les Trois Musiciens (The Three Musicians) captures Picasso’s Cubist mastery at its height, translating one of his most celebrated compositions into the refined medium of lithograph and pochoir. The scene depicts three abstracted figures—a harlequin, a monk, and a pierrot—arranged in a complex geometric harmony that embodies both the structure and rhythm of modernity. Through vivid color and precise pochoir layering, Picasso’s interplay of form, shadow, and light transforms the musicians into a symphony of shape and sound, reflecting the artist’s enduring fascination with the relationship between visual art and music. Executed as a lithograph and pochoir on velin paper, this work measures 9.09 x 11.38 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of Editions des Chroniques du Jour and the technical excellence of L'Atelier Desjobert, one of the premier Parisian workshops specializing in pochoir and fine art lithography.

Verlag Gerd Hatje, 1983, illustration 31 Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the album, Pablo Picasso, published by Editions des Chroniques du Jour, Paris, and printed by L'Atelier Desjobert, Paris, 1930 Notes: Excerpted from the album, This volume has been printed in MCC numbered examples, of which DL (LI to DC) constitute the edition in French and DCL (DCI to MCCL). The edition in English has been printed on behalf of E. Weyhe, 794 Lexington Avenue, New York (DCI to MC) and of A. Zwemmer, 78 Charing Cross Road, London, W. C.2. (MCI to MCCL). There have also been printed L examples on Arches paper with a lithograph by Picasso (I to L) distributed between the two editions, and some press examples. About the Publication: The album Pablo Picasso, published in 1930 by Editions des Chroniques du Jour, Paris, under the direction of Christian Zervos, stands among the earliest major printed tributes to the artist’s emerging international acclaim. Conceived as part of the publisher’s broader initiative to document and celebrate the modernist vanguard, the volume presented a series of lithographs and pochoirs interpreting Picasso’s drawings, watercolors, and gouaches from the preceding decade. Executed at the esteemed Atelier Desjobert, the edition combined the lithographic precision of line with the pochoir method’s hand-applied color, producing images of exceptional tonal depth and fidelity. Issued in both French and English, with distribution in Paris, New York, and London through E. Weyhe and A. Zwemmer, the album was limited to MCC copies, including a special suite of L examples on Arches paper containing an original lithograph by Picasso. The publication represented a vital collaboration between artist, publisher, and printer—uniting the intellectual rigor of Zervos’s art criticism with the material beauty of fine French printmaking. Today, Pablo Picasso, 1930 is recognized as a landmark in 20th-century art publishing, reflecting both the refinement of interwar Parisian craftsmanship and the international reach of Picasso’s genius. About the Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose extraordinary vision revolutionized modern art and defined the visual language of the 20th century. A child prodigy from Malaga, Spain, Picasso's career spanned more than seven decades and encompassed an astonishing range of styles and innovations—from the melancholic Blue and romantic Rose periods to his pioneering invention of Cubism with Georges Braque, which shattered conventional notions of perspective and form. Influenced by the bold expressiveness of El Greco, the structure of Cezanne, and the vitality of African and Iberian sculpture, Picasso became a central figure of the Paris avant-garde, working in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Henri Matisse, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray. His insatiable experimentation extended across painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture, forever expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. A master of reinvention, Picasso profoundly shaped generations of artists who followed—from Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, and Jean-Michel Basquiat to Jeff Koons and Banksy—cementing his status as a timeless cultural icon whose works remain among the most sought after worldwide. His landmark painting Les Femmes d'Alger (Version O) achieved a record-breaking sale of 179,365,000 USD at Christie's, New York, on May 11, 2015, affirming Picasso's enduring legacy as one of the most influential and valuable artists in history.
