This luxurious folio exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of mid-20th-century French printing, merging text, image, and handcraft into a unified artistic statement. A triumph of the livre d’artiste tradition, it remains a vital record of the enduring creative dialogue between the painters, printers, and publishers who defined the visual culture of their time. About the Artist: Maurice Utrillo (1883–1955) was a French painter whose poetic depictions of Montmartre and Paris transformed the city’s quiet streets, cathedrals, and cafes into enduring symbols of nostalgia and modern beauty. Born in Paris to the artist Suzanne Valadon—model and muse to Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec—Utrillo was immersed in art from an early age but led a turbulent life that found solace in painting. Entirely self-taught, he became one of the most distinctive figures of the Paris School, celebrated for his lyrical “White Period” (1909–1914), during which he employed thick impasto and a restrained palette of whites, grays, and ochres to capture the worn facades and atmospheric stillness of Montmartre. Influenced by Paul Cezanne’s structural precision, Vincent van Gogh’s emotional color, and Camille Pissarro’s realism, Utrillo forged a style that blended Impressionist light with Post-Impressionist solidity, expressing solitude, longing, and spiritual calm. He worked amidst the revolutionary ferment of early 20th-century Paris, alongside Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Georges Braque, and Chaim Soutine, yet his art stood apart from their Cubist and Expressionist experiments, focusing instead on evoking emotional truth through representation. Though he shared his generation’s stage with avant-garde icons such as Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, and Man Ray, Utrillo’s paintings offered a poetic counterpoint—a meditative realism that captured the enduring soul of modern life. His mastery of perspective and tonal harmony imbued works like Rue Norvins and Place du Tertre with quiet majesty, transforming ordinary streets into sanctuaries of memory and light. Utrillo’s profound sensitivity influenced later artists including Balthus, Jean Dubuffet, Nicolas de Stael, and Giorgio Morandi, as well as Edward Hopper and Wayne Thiebaud, who echoed his stillness and emotional clarity in their own depictions of urban solitude. His art, now housed in major museums such as the Musee d’Orsay, Centre Pompidou, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Tate, remains a cornerstone of modern French painting, bridging the lyricism of Impressionism with the introspection of modernism. Revered for his sincerity and mastery of mood, Utrillo stands alongside Picasso, Miro, Dali, Kandinsky, Duchamp, Calder, Giacometti, and Man Ray as a pillar of 20th-century art, his work capturing the eternal poetry of Paris. The highest auction record for Maurice Utrillo was achieved by his masterpiece Rue Norvins a Montmartre (circa 1910), which sold for $4,882,500 USD at Sotheby’s, New York, on November 6, 2011, affirming his enduring legacy as one of the most beloved and collectible painters of his era.

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.

Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the 1974 album ceramiques de miro et artigas (Miro and Artigas Ceramics), published by Maeght Editeur, Paris; printed by Arte, Adrien Maeght, Paris Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French), The original lithographs were drawn in the ateliers Arte, Adrien Maeght, Paris. Completed printing on April 30, 1974. About the Publication: Ceramiques de miro et artigas (Miro and Artigas Ceramics) is a landmark 1974 album published by Maeght Editeur that documents and celebrates the long, fertile collaboration between Joan Miro and the master ceramicist Josep Llorens Artigas. The album serves as both an artistic tribute and an archival record of their shared exploration into the expressive possibilities of fire, clay, pigment, and surface. Maeght Editeur—renowned for its exceptional production standards and its close relationships with leading modern artists—commissioned original lithographs specifically for the album, each reflecting the tactile, gestural, and symbolic vocabulary that Miro developed through decades of experimentation in ceramics. Printed by Arte, Adrien Maeght in Paris, the production exemplifies the publisher’s commitment to uniting fine art printing with rigorous documentation. The album honors one of the most important artist–artisan partnerships of the 20th century, capturing the profound synergy between Miro’s visionary abstraction and Artigas’s mastery of traditional and experimental ceramic processes. As with all major Maeght publications, the album was conceived not merely as a catalogue but as a complete work of art, synthesizing text, image, and craftsmanship into an enduring contribution to the history of modernist printmaking and book arts. About the Artist: Joan Miro (1893–1983) was a Catalan painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist whose visionary imagination and lyrical abstraction made him one of the most influential and beloved artists of the 20th century. Born in Barcelona, Miro drew inspiration from Catalan folk art, Romanesque frescoes, and the luminous landscapes of Mont-roig del Camp, developing a deep connection to nature that infused his work with vitality and symbolism. After formal training at the Escola dArt in Barcelona, he absorbed the lessons of Post-Impressionism and Cubism before moving to Paris in the early 1920s, where he became a leading figure in the Surrealist movement. There, Miro forged a personal visual language of biomorphic shapes, floating symbols, and radiant color harmonies that reflected both spontaneity and spiritual depth. In creative dialogue with peers such as Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, he helped revolutionize modern art by dissolving the boundaries between abstraction and dream imagery. Miros inventive approach extended far beyond painting, embracing sculpture, ceramics, and monumental public commissions that redefined how art could interact with space and emotion. His expressive freedom and gestural abstraction profoundly influenced later artists including Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Antoni Tapies, and Joan Mitchell, inspiring generations who sought to merge instinct, color, and imagination. Today, Miros work remains a cornerstone of modernism, prized by collectors and celebrated in major museums worldwide. His highest auction record was achieved by Peinture (Etoile Bleue) (1927), which sold for 23561250 GBP (approximately 37 million USD) at Sothebys, London, on June 19, 2012.
