This exquisite lithograph after Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009), titled Quaker Ladies, originates from the distinguished 1962 folio The Four Seasons: Paintings and Drawings by Andrew Wyeth. Published and printed by Art in America Company, Inc., New York, the edition exemplifies Wyeth’s deep reverence for nature and his mastery of tonal subtlety. Quaker Ladies captures the full flowering of spring—an intimate study of delicate wild blossoms rendered with Wyeth’s signature restraint and sensitivity to atmosphere, texture, and light. Executed on velin paper, this lithograph measures 17 x 13 inches (43.2 x 33 cm). As issued, it is unsigned and unnumbered, representing the folio’s authentic format. The Four Seasons series was conceived by the editors of Art in America in collaboration with Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, who selected drawings from the artist’s studio to express the cyclical beauty of nature’s transformations. Each image demonstrates Wyeth’s ability to translate fleeting seasonal impressions into works of quiet emotional resonance and painterly poetry. Artwork Details: Artist: After Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009) Title: Quaker Ladies, from The Four Seasons, Paintings and Drawings by Andrew Wyeth, 1962 Medium: Lithograph on velin paper Dimensions: 17 x 13 inches (43.2 x 33 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued Date: 1962 Publisher: Art in America Company, Inc., New York Printer: Art in America Company, Inc., New York Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the 1962 folio The Four Seasons, Paintings and Drawings by Andrew Wyeth, published and printed by Art in America Company, Inc., New York Notes: Excerpted from the 1962 folio: "In 1962 the editors of Art in America proposed to Wyeth a portfolio of images of his recent dry-brush drawings. The artist and his wife suggested the theme, 'The Four Seasons,' because of the essential role played in his work by the cycle of the seasons. The drawings were selected by Andrew and Betsy Wyeth from works in the house and studio at Chadds Ford, supplemented by some owned by friends. With a few exceptions they had never been exhibited or reproduced. The plates were made directly from the originals. In these drawings Wyeth's loving concentration on the object is fully revealed. But as always in his work, this concern with the tangible is balanced by sensibility to mood, to the emotion arising from the actual. They are pervaded with a sense of the season—the exact time of year, the hour of the day, the quality of the light. To the truth and subtlety with which he captures these intangible factors, these drawings owe their poignant poetry." About the Artist: Andrew Wyeth (1917–2009) was an American visual artist and one of the best-known painters of the mid-20th century. Although he considered himself an abstractionist, Wyeth’s work is characterized by a meticulous realism imbued with psychological depth and atmosphere. He often painted the landscapes and people surrounding his homes in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and Cushing, Maine, creating an intimate record of American rural life. The son of the celebrated illustrator N. C. Wyeth, Andrew trained under his father before developing his own deeply personal visual language inspired by Winslow Homer, Henry David Thoreau, and King Vidor. His wife, Betsy Wyeth, was both his muse and career manager, while his son Jamie Wyeth continued the family’s artistic legacy. Among Wyeth’s best-known works is Christina’s World (1948), housed in the Museum of Modern Art, New York—a quintessential image of 20th-century American art. His other notable series include The Helga Pictures and his window studies, each reflecting a profound meditation on solitude, memory, and perception. Wyeth was the first painter to receive both the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal, and was elected to the French Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1980. In 2022, Andrew Wyeth's painting Day Dream sold for USD 23.29 million at Christie’s New York, setting a world record for the artist. Andrew Wyeth lithograph...

This exquisite lithograph after Rene Magritte (1898–1967), titled Une Jeune Femme Presente avec Grace (A Young Woman Presents with Grace), from the folio Les Enfants Trouves de Magritte (The Found Children of Magritte), 1968, originates from the edition published by A.C. Mazo et Cie, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, on November 20, 1968. The work embodies Magrittes sustained inquiry into semiotics and visual epistemology, translating his characteristic strategies of displacement, symbolic inversion, and conceptual ambiguity into an image that operates as both a poetic metaphor and a philosophical proposition concerning the instability of meaning. Executed as a lithograph on grand velin dArches paper, this work measures 17.5 x 23.5 inches (44.5 x 59.7 cm). Signed in the plate by the artist; hand signed by Fernand Mourlot, Editeur. The edition exemplifies the technical mastery of the Mourlot atelier.

Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio Les Enfants Trouves de Magritte, 1968 Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), Finished printing in Paris on November 20, 1968, on the presses of Mourlot, for the lithographs. The unpublished text by Louis Scutenaire was composed in Elzevir Casion corps 28 and printed by Fequet et Baudier, typographers. The unpublished compositions numbered from I to IV were specially made by Rene Magritte for this album. The compositions of the Enchanted Domain, are the renderings of the eight paintings of the mural of the Casino de Knokke. They were printed with the benevolent authorization of Mr. Gustave J. Nellens. Justification of the draw, this album was taken from CCCL examples on grand velin dArches numbered from I to CCCL, plus a few examples for collaborators and assistants. About the Publication: Les Enfants Trouves de Magritte (The Found Children of Magritte), published in 1968 by A.C. Mazo et Cie, Paris, represents one of the most significant late life print projects devoted to Rene Magrittes work. Conceived as both a literary and visual tribute, the folio pairs texts by the Belgian writer Louis Scutenaire, Magrittes close friend and fellow Surrealist, with lithographic interpretations produced at the Mourlot atelier, the premier lithographic workshop of twentieth century France. The album includes compositions by Magritte alongside lithographic renderings of the celebrated Enchanted Domain mural from the Casino de Knokke, printed with the authorization of Gustave J. Nellens, who commissioned the original mural. Issued in a single edition of CCCL examples on grand velin dArches, the folio stands as a testament to the collaboration between artist, writer, publisher, and master printer, and remains one of the most culturally important Surrealist print albums of the post war era. About the Artist: Rene Magritte (1898–1967) was a Belgian Surrealist painter whose visionary, intellectual, and poetic imagery redefined twentieth century art and forever changed how the world perceives reality and illusion. Celebrated for his calm precision and thought provoking juxtapositions of ordinary objects in extraordinary contexts, Magritte used painting as a philosophical tool, transforming the everyday into visual paradoxes that challenged the boundaries between what is seen and what is known. Born in Lessines, Belgium, and trained at the Academie Royale des Beaux Arts in Brussels, he absorbed early influences from Cubism, Futurism, and Symbolism before embracing Surrealism, where he found his true voice. In Paris, he became part of the avant garde circle that included Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—all artists whose radical ideas helped him forge his distinctive synthesis of logic and mystery.

This exquisite lithograph after Chaim Soutine (1893–1943), titled Nature morte a la dinde (Still Life with Turkey), from the folio Soutine, I, Collection Pierre Levy, 1966, originates from the edition published by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, and printed by Mourlot Freres, Paris, on October 20, 1966. The work conveys the heightened emotional tension and expressive force characteristic of Soutines painterly vision, capturing in lithographic form the dynamic structure and psychological intensity that define his mature still lifes. Executed as a lithograph on velin d'Arches paper, this work measures 20 x 26 inches. Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued. The edition exemplifies the technical mastery of the Mourlot atelier. Artwork Details: Artist: After Chaim Soutine (1899–1943) Title: Nature morte a la dinde (Still Life with Turkey), from the folio Soutine, I, Collection Pierre Levy Medium: Lithograph on velin d'Arches paper Dimensions: 20 x 26 inches Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered as issued Date: 1966 Publisher: Fernand Mourlot, Paris Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the folio Soutine, I, Collection Pierre Levy, 1966 Notes: Excerpted from the folio (translated from French), This album, the first of a series dedicated to Mr. Pierre Levys collection, was printed in DL examples on Arches velin. Printing was finished on October 20, 1966 by Mourlot for lithographs of the canvases of Soutine, and by Fequet and Baudier for Waldemar Georges unpublished text. Fernand Mourlot, Paris 1966. About the Publication: Soutine, I, Collection Pierre Levy, published in 1966 by Fernand Mourlot, Paris, is the first album in the important series devoted to the Pierre Levy collection, one of the most significant private collections of twentieth century French painting. Conceived as a scholarly and visual record, the album was designed to present key works by Chaim Soutine in lithographic form at a time when renewed international interest in the artist was expanding. Created in collaboration with Mourlot Freres, the foremost lithographic atelier in France, the publication reflects the printers commitment to translating Soutines canvases into richly tonal lithographs that preserve the emotional intensity and structural drama of the originals. Issued in a single edition on Arches velin, the album stands as an essential document of postwar art publishing, illuminating the historical partnership between artist, collector, and master printer, and contributing to the larger historiography of modern French Expressionism and museum quality print albums of the mid twentieth century. About the Artist: Chaim Soutine (1893–1943) was a Belarus born French Expressionist painter whose explosive brushwork, emotionally charged distortions, and uncompromising commitment to depicting the psychological intensity of human experience have secured his place as one of the most vital and transformative figures in twentieth century art, creating his legacy within the same revolutionary modernist environment defined by Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray; after leaving his impoverished childhood in Smilavichy and arriving in Paris in 1913, Soutine immersed himself in the School of Paris circle at La Ruche—an incubator of international avant garde talent—where he developed formative friendships with Amedeo Modigliani, Marc Chagall, Jules Pascin, and other pioneering artists whose daring approaches inspired him to push color, gesture, and form into new emotional territories. His portraits of cooks, choirboys, servants, and village residents; his tempestuous landscapes of Cagnes, Chartres, and Ceret; and his deeply visceral still lifes—most famously his monumental depictions of slaughtered carcasses—reveal a singular ability to transform ordinary subjects into raw, pulsing, almost metaphysical dramas, building on the influence of Rembrandt, Goya, Velazquez, and El Greco while departing radically from academic restraint. His paintings vibrate with psychological tension, their twisted perspectives, molten colors, and trembling outlines capturing an inner world marked by anxiety, longing, resilience, and profound empathy. Soutines originality profoundly shaped the evolution of modern painting: Francis Bacon cited him as one of his greatest influences, Willem de Kooning and the Abstract Expressionists admired his gestural ferocity, and later artists—including Frank Auerbach, Leon Kossoff, Lucian Freud, Jenny Saville, and Adrian Ghenie...
