Jules Pascin, Manolita, from Pascin, 1954 (after)
By Jules Pascin
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite lithograph after Jules Pascin (1885–1930), titled Manolita, from the album Pascin, originates from the 1954 edition published by Editions du livre, Monte-Carlo, under the direction of Andre Sauret, Editeur, Monte-Carlo, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, March 3, 1954. Manolita 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 9.5 x 12.25 inches. Unsigned 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: Manolita, from the album Pascin Medium: Lithograph on grand velin Renage paper Dimensions: 9.5 x 12.25 inches (24.1 x 31.1 cm) Inscription: Unsigned 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.

Marc Chagall, Rachel Steals Her Father’s Idols, Drawings for the Bible, 1956
By Marc Chagall
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite lithograph by Marc Chagall (1887–1985), titled Rachel derobe les Idoles de son Pere (Rachel Steals Her Father’s Idols), from Marc Chagall, Dessins Pour La Bible (Drawings for the Bible), Verve: Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. VIII, No. 33–34, originates from the September 1956 issue published by Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, under the direction of Teriade, Editeur, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, 1956. This poignant and symbolic composition illustrates the biblical episode in which Rachel secretly takes her father Laban’s household idols, an act that represents both defiance and devotion. Chagall’s interpretation imbues the scene with mystery and spiritual complexity, transforming it into a meditation on faith, transformation, and the tension between tradition and revelation. With his characteristic use of fluid lines and emotional resonance, Chagall elevates this intimate moment into a timeless vision of courage and divine purpose. The piece forms part of Chagall’s celebrated series of lithographs and drawings created for Dessins Pour La Bible, a monumental project uniting art, scripture, and mysticism in one of the artist’s most important achievements. Executed as a lithograph on velin du Marais paper, this work measures 14 x 10.5 inches (35.56 x 26.67 cm). Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the superb craftsmanship of the Mourlot Freres atelier, renowned for its collaborations with the greatest modern masters of the 20th century. Artwork Details: Artist: Marc Chagall (1887–1985) Title: Rachel derobe les Idoles de son Pere (Rachel Steals Her Father’s Idols), from Marc Chagall, Dessins Pour La Bible (Drawings for the Bible), Verve: Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. VIII, No. 33–34, September 1956 Medium: Lithograph on velin du Marais paper Dimensions: 14 x 10.5 inches (35.56 x 26.67 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1956 Publisher: Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, under the direction of Teriade, Editeur, Paris Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris Catalogue raisonne references: Cain, Julien, and Fernand Mourlot. Chagall Lithographe. Andre Sauret, Editeur, 1960, illustrations 117–46. Cramer, Patrick, and Meret Meyer. Marc Chagall: Catalogue Raisonne Des Livres Illustrés. P. Cramer ed., 1995, illustration 25. Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From Marc Chagall, Dessins Pour La Bible (Drawings for the Bible), Verve: Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. VIII, No. 33–34, published by Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, 1956 Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This double issue of Verve is dedicated to the full reproduction in heliogravure of the one hundred-five plates etched by Marc Chagall, between 1930 and 1955, for the illustration of the Bible. The artist composed especially for the present work, sixteen lithographs in color and twelve in black, as well as the cover and the title page. This volume was completed and printed on September 10, 1956, by the Master Printers Draeger Freres for heliogravure, and by Mourlot Freres for lithography. About the Publication: Marc Chagall, Dessins Pour La Bible (Drawings for the Bible), published as Verve Vol. VIII, No. 33–34 in September 1956, represents one of the crowning achievements of Chagall’s lifelong dialogue with the sacred. Conceived and directed by the visionary publisher Teriade and printed by the master lithographers Mourlot Freres, the issue features thirty-four color lithographs and numerous black-and-white drawings inspired by biblical figures and stories. Chagall’s works for this edition unite text and image in a luminous meditation on divine creation, moral struggle, and spiritual renewal, imbued with his signature dreamlike symbolism and radiant color. Produced in postwar Paris, this landmark publication reaffirmed the enduring union of art and faith, establishing Dessins Pour La Bible as one of the most important illustrated works of the 20th century. About the Artist: Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Belarus-born French painter, printmaker, and designer whose visionary imagination, radiant color, and deeply poetic symbolism made him one of the most beloved and influential artists of the 20th century. Rooted in the imagery of his Jewish heritage and the memories of his childhood in Vitebsk, Chagall’s art wove together themes of faith, love, folklore, and fantasy with a dreamlike modern sensibility. His unique style—merging elements of Cubism, Fauvism, Expressionism, and Surrealism—defied categorization, transforming ordinary scenes into lyrical meditations on memory and emotion. Influenced by Russian icon painting, medieval religious art, and the modern innovations of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Georges Braque, Chagall developed a profoundly personal visual language filled with floating figures, vibrant animals, musicians, and lovers that symbolized the transcendent power of imagination and love. During his early years in Paris, he became an integral part of the Ecole de Paris circle, forming friendships with Amedeo Modigliani, Fernand Leger, and Sonia Delaunay, and his creative spirit resonated with that of his peers and successors—Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists who, like Chagall, sought to push the boundaries of perception, emotion, and form. Over a prolific career that spanned painting, printmaking, stained glass, ceramics, and stage design, Chagall brought an unparalleled poetic sensibility to modern art, infusing even the most abstract subjects with human warmth and spiritual depth. His works are held in the most prestigious museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, the Tate, and the Guggenheim, where they continue to inspire generations of artists and collectors. The highest price ever paid for a Marc Chagall artwork is approximately $28.5 million USD, achieved in 2017 at Sotheby’s New York for Les Amoureux (1928). Marc Chagall Rachel...

Marc Chagall, Lovers in the Moonlight, from Tales of Boccaccio, 1950
By Marc Chagall
Located in Southampton, NY
This exquisite lithograph by Marc Chagall (1887–1985), titled Les Amoureux au clair de lune (Lovers in the Moonlight), from Contes de Boccace, peintures du manuscrit des ducs de Bourgogne, Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal (Ms. no. 5193) (Tales of Boccaccio, Paintings from the Manuscript of the Dukes of Burgundy, Library of the Arsenal), Lavis de Marc Chagall, from Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. VI, No. 24, originates from the 1950 issue published by Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, under the direction of Teriade, Editeur, Paris, and printed by Draeger Freres, Maitres-Imprimeurs, Paris, 1950. This enchanting composition epitomizes Chagall’s poetic vision of love, light, and dreamlike transcendence. Les Amoureux au clair de lune captures the tenderness of two lovers bathed in moonlight, suspended in a luminous harmony that merges the earthly and the celestial with Chagall’s signature grace and lyricism. Executed as a lithograph on velin du Marais paper, this work measures 14 x 10.5 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of the Draeger Freres atelier, celebrated for its precision and tonal richness in printing fine artworks. Artwork Details: Artist: Marc Chagall (1887–1985) Title: Les Amoureux au clair de lune (Lovers in the Moonlight), from Contes de Boccace (Tales of Boccaccio), Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. VI, No. 24, 1950 Medium: Lithograph on velin du Marais paper Dimensions: 14 x 10.5 inches Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1950 Publisher: Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, under the direction of Teriade, Editeur, Paris Printer: Draeger Freres, Maitres-Imprimeurs, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, Vol. VI, No. 24, published by Editions de la revue Verve, Paris, 1950 Notes: Excerpted from the album (translated from French), This Verve issue contains the lavis that Marc Chagall composed to illustrate Tales of Boccaccio's Decameron and the paintings on the same theme of the Manuscript of the Dukes of Burgundy preserved in the Arsenal Library. Marc Chagall executed the cover of this work which was completed printing on April 20, 1950 on the presses of Maitres-Imprimeurs, the Draeger Freres. About the Publication: This 1950 issue of Verve, Revue Artistique et Litteraire, titled Contes de Boccace (Tales of Boccaccio), was devoted to the great Italian humanist Giovanni Boccaccio and illuminated manuscripts from the 15th century, interpreted and revived through the eyes of modern artists. Under the artistic direction of Teriade, Marc Chagall contributed a series of lyrical paintings and lavis that reimagined these Renaissance themes with his signature dreamlike color, tenderness, and spiritual symbolism. The issue juxtaposed Chagall’s contemporary vision with the rich heritage of medieval illumination, bridging centuries of artistic imagination. Printed by the master craftsmen of Draeger Freres, the publication stands as a testament to Verve’s tradition of uniting art, literature, and history in one luxurious volume that celebrates the continuity of human creativity from the Middle Ages to modernity. About the Artist: Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Belarus-born French painter, printmaker, and designer whose visionary imagination, radiant color, and deeply poetic symbolism made him one of the most beloved and influential artists of the 20th century.

Influenced by Russian icon painting, medieval religious art, and the modern innovations of artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Georges Braque, Chagall developed a profoundly personal visual language filled with floating figures, vibrant animals, musicians, and lovers that symbolized the transcendent power of imagination and love.
