Quinze Dessins de Durer a Dufy Appartenant aux Collections des Musees Nationaux, issued in 1968, represents a landmark achievement in Parisian printmaking devoted to the faithful translation of historic master drawings into modern pochoir and lithographic form. Conceived and published by Daniel Jacomet in collaboration with Editions Artistiques et Documentaires, the album inaugurated a series dedicated to rendering canonical drawings with extraordinary precision, respecting line weight, tonal subtlety, and the original spirit of each work. Jacomets atelier was internationally renowned for its technical rigor and scholarly approach, bridging museum collections and contemporary print culture through meticulous craftsmanship. Drawing together works spanning centuries, from Albrecht Durer to Raoul Dufy, the album reflects a curatorial ambition rooted in pedagogy, preservation, and aesthetic continuity. Produced in strictly limited examples, including a small number outside the trade, the album exemplifies the highest standards of mid twentieth century Parisian printmaking and remains valued for its role in transmitting the legacy of master draughtsmanship to collectors, institutions, and scholars. About the Artist: Antoine Watteau (1684–1721) was a French painter and draughtsman whose poetic reinvention of Rococo painting reshaped European art through the invention of the fete galante, a genre that merged elegant courtship, theatrical performance, and pastoral fantasy into scenes suffused with lyrical melancholy and psychological depth, establishing him as one of the most original and influential artists of the early eighteenth century and a pivotal bridge between Baroque classicism and modern sensibility. Trained in Paris after early work as a copyist, Watteau absorbed the coloristic richness and emotional dynamism of Peter Paul Rubens and the Venetian masters while forging a personal visual language distinguished by fluid brushwork, musical rhythm, and extraordinary sensitivity to atmosphere, gesture, and fleeting emotion. Moving among contemporaries such as Nicolas Lancret and Jean Baptiste Pater, he nevertheless stood apart for his introspective tone, transforming scenes of leisure into subtle meditations on desire, impermanence, and the fragile poetry of human relationships. His refined ambiguity and dreamlike staging resonated deeply with later modern innovators including Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, all of whom explored, in radically different ways, the tension between movement and stillness, reality and illusion, and emotional meaning beyond literal representation. Revered equally for his paintings and drawings, which rank among the most expressive of the period, Watteau profoundly shaped the development of Romanticism, Symbolism, and Surrealism, inspiring generations of artists drawn to mood, memory, and psychological resonance. His works, held in the worlds most important museum collections and rarely appearing on the market, have achieved exceptional prices, highlighted by a major auction result of approximately twenty million USD at Christies Paris in March 2022, reaffirming his enduring stature as one of the most coveted and historically significant figures in Western art.
