Title Picasso: Turn of the Century - 1900–1901 Synopsis of book P i c a s s o ’ s Paintings, Watercolors, Drawings and Sculpture A Comprehensive Illustrated Catalogue 1885–1973 Turn of the Century - 1900–1901 Barcelona, Madrid and Paris The Picasso Project 878 Works Catalogued and Reproduced Picasso is 18 years old at the beginning of the new century. He is living in Barcelona and actively engaged in the artistic life of the city. After winning one of the prizes for his poster design Carnaval 1900, he prepares for his first one-man exhibition at Els Quatre Gats. The works are primarily portraits of his artist and literary friends who frequent this intellectual tavern. During the spring of 1900 he designs posters for commercial enterprises and begins contributing to literary journals in Barcelona. During the summer and fall he provides illustrations to the Catalan journals Joventut, Catalunya Artística and Pèl & Ploma. In September Picasso travels to Paris for the first time. One of his own works is to be displayed at the Exposition Universelle in the Spanish Pavilion. It is Last Moments or The Final Moments (which he subsequently paints over), one in a series of works on sickness, death and redemption from 1899-1900, Picasso lives with friends from Barcelona and fraternizes with the large community of expatriate Spaniards and Catalonians in Montmartre. At the end of the year Picasso travels to Málaga. Instead of returning to either Barcelona or Paris, Pablo moves to Madrid to start a new cultural journal Arte Joven. In February of 1901, Picasso learns that his companion Carles Casagemas has committed suicide in front of a group of friends in Paris, despondent about a romance. Later in the year, Picasso produces a series of mournful paintings to commemorate this tragedy. During the spring, Picasso exhibits in Madrid and Barcelona. The artist returns to Paris in May to create additional works for a Paris exhibition. During the exhibition, Picasso meets Max Jacob who will become his intellectual mentor and conduit to the major modernist French artists and writers. In the fall, Picasso constructs his pictorial memorial to Casagemas, with touches of sexual irony as a counterpoint to the morbid subject matter. Pablo then turns to more somber subjects. These include the penetrating images of seated women in bars, The Absinthe Drinker and a series on women convicts in the Saint-Lazare prison. Toward the end of the year, Picasso has begun his march into the Blue Period, with portraits of his friends, a haunting mother and child and his celebrated Self-Portrait at Age 20.

Title Théodore Géricault. The Graphic Work - L’oeuvre Gravé Synopsis of book Théodore Géricault The Graphic Work - L’oeuvre Gravé Revised Edition Loys Delteil Fully Illustrated Jean-Louis-André-Théodore Géricault was born in Rouen in 1791 and died in Paris in 1824 at the age of 32. During his short life, Géricault achieved fame and celebrity both in France and in England. He was recognized as a major painter and graphic artist and had a devoted circle of fellow artists, friends, students, collaborators, printers and publishers. His major love affair was with an aunt by marriage by whom he had a son, with tragic consequences. Géricault produced 78 lithographs and one etching between 1817 and 1823. He created another 19 lithographs in collaboration with others between 1820 and 1823. Delteil cataloged another 9 lithographs which were included by Charles Clément in his catalogue raisonné or are otherwise noteworthy. An additional one is added to this revised catalogue. This new edition of Delteil references and/or incorporates pertinent information from all of the post-1924 catalogues, since the original French edition of Delteil. Each catalogue entry now has the original French text and a revised English language description. At least one state of every print is reproduced on the page facing the descriptions. This new edition has been under construction for about 10 years awaiting new illustrations. The Yale University Art Gallery has now supplied the high quality digital images for almost all the works catalogued. In some cases more than one state of a print is reproduced and these additional illustrations as well as those lacking at Yale are reproduced from other sources. Since Delteil’s catalogues are for connoisseurs, whether collectors, curators or dealers, he includes reproductions of contemporary copies to facilitate distinguishing between the original and the copy. This new edition includes color plates for the few lithographs that were printed in more than one color or were handcolored by the artist. There are alphabetical indexes of the titles in both French and English. This new edition contains succinct chronological information on the collectors who are mentioned by Delteil, often in reference to sales of their collections after they died. Those included in Lugt’s Marques de Collections are given their Lugt number. There is similar dating for Géricault’s printers and publishers, his artist friends and collaborators and a few of Géricault’s major European artist contemporaries.

Title L’Oeuvre de Gavarni Synopsis of book Catalogue Raisonné of the Graphic Work by J. Armelhault & E. Bocher. Sulpice-Guillaume Chevallier (1804–1866), better known as Gavarni, was one of the great French printmakers of the 19th century, rivalled only by his contemporary and colleague, Honoré Daumier. Much of his earlier work depicted Parisian masked balls and other aspects of the life of young bohemians. In his later years his subjects turned more mordant and critical of mankind. Throughout he showed a keen eye for personality and la vie quotidienne, a taste for clever captions, and phenomenal skills as an artist and lithographer. M.-J.-F. Mahérault (as J. Armelhaut) and E. Bocher wrote the only comprehensive catalogue raisonné of Gavarni’s print work, published in 1873 in a small French language edition. In this new edition, the entire catalogue is reprinted. It is supplemented by English language essays on Gavarni by Robert J. Wickenden and Gordon N. Ray, and a selection of sixty-one prints spanning the course of Gavarni’s PDF Click to download PDF

Title Pi c a s s o. The Lithographic Work. Volume I. 1919–1949 Synopsis of book Pi c a s s o The Lithographic Work Volume I. 1919–1949 Fernand Mourlot Revised by the Picasso Project Fully Illustrated Picasso produced his first lithograph in 1919, about the time he turned 38 years of age. Between 1919 and 1930 the artist made a total of 27 lithographs for various publishers. Picasso met Fernand Mourlot, the printer and publisher of lithographs, around August, 1945, through an introduction from Georges Braque. Mourlot was already a principal lithographer for the School of Paris artists. By November, 1945 Picasso and Mourlot had already completed the first post-1930 lithograph, entitled Woman’s Head (M. 1). By the end of 1945, the collaboration resulted in an additional 29 lithographs, several in multiple states. Fernand Mourlot wrote and published the first volume of his catalogue raisonné on the master’s lithographs, Picasso Lithographe I, 1919–1947, in 1949. This volume catalogued 101 lithographs, many in multiple states. The second volume of Mourlot’s catalogue was published by the author in 1950, Picasso Lithographe II, 1947–1949. This volume catalogued an additional 105 works (M. 75–179) covering the period March, 1947 to April, 1949. Two further volumes appeared in French and in 1970 Mourlot compiled a one volume composite edition of the 4 catalogues, which was published by André Sauret, Monte-Carlo in French and by Boston Book and Art in English. Pablo Picasso died on April 8, 1973 in Mougins and was buried at his Château de Vauvenargues two days later. His estate was settled around 1979 and the 20,000 prints that remained in his possession were distributed to the French State and the artist’s heirs. Since 1973, there have been a number of additional catalogues by other authors on the artist’s lithographs. There have also been important public sales by the estates of Picasso and Mourlot. The catalogues for the various exhibitions, private collections and auction sales contained new information on the lithographs, including variant states and a few uncatalogued by Mourlot. This new catalogue appears in 2 volumes and incorporates all of the relevant scholarship and findings from previous catalogues. It also translates the Mourlot and Sabartés texts from the original French language editions for the first time. A chronology by Eberhard Kornfeld which appeared in the catalogue for his major exhibition of prints by Picasso in Bern, Switzerland in 1982 is also translated into English for the first time. There is also a concordance to the other standard reference books on the artist’s prints and books illustrated with original graphics.

Title plastic art and pure plastic art 1937 by piet mondrian Synopsis of book A new edition of this classic in the Documents of Modern Art series, edited by Robert Motherwell, with all illutrations now in colour. : Among the twentieth century’s strongest plastic expressions, e.g., those of Henri-Matisse and Picasso, must be put that of the late Piet Mondrian. He called his plastic expression “neo-plasticism.” Neo-plasticism has encountered stronger and sometimes more bitter resistance over a longer period of time than any of the others, and it is some measure of its force and vitality that, despite this, it has come to exert an international influence; it must be insisted however that not all of the things influenced by neo-plasticism exhibit its full meaning. As Mondrian himself notes, the influence of neo-plasticism has been, on the whole, greater in the fields of architecture, posters, advertising, layout, and industrial design than in those of painting and sculpture.
