Picasso ‘Mes dessins d’Antibes’ Lithograph,
Picasso ‘Mes dessins d’Antibes’ Lithograph,
Picasso’s series “Mes dessins d’Antibes” is a fantastic study of Homeric, mythological Antibes (Greek Antypolis). He stayed barely three months in the southern Provencal port yet his output was prodigious. In what has been called Picasso’s ‘Age Of Renewal’ he produced 23 paintings and 44 drawings. In these lithographs, first published in Paris in 1958, Picasso committed to print the austere and mysterious forms of the Centaur, the Nymph and the Faun that had so renewed his art in the Antibes. -

Matisse ‘cut-out’ Lithograph,
Matisse ‘cut-out’ Lithograph,
In his late sixties, when ill health first prevented Matisse from painting, he experimented with cutting into painted paper with scissors (gouache decoupée). Necessity had caused Matisse to invent an entirely new medium. Matisse later worked closely with the Parisian Lithographer Fernand Mourlot to create this series of Lithographs depicting his new creations. The two men worked together until Matisse’s death in 1954. In recognition of this the Mourlot-Matisse Lithographs have been named ‘The Last Works’. -
