Description | Color lithographic poster created by Max Ernst and produced by the Atelier Mourlot studio located at 115 Bank Street in New York. Founded in 1852 in Paris, the studio was a lithographic print shop and became known for its production of high quality posters beginning in the 1920s. Fernand Mourlot (1895-1988), ran the studio for six decades. Under his patronage, many major twentieth century artists worked there to create original graphic works of art. Among an extensive list are: Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Miró, Chagall, Le Corbusier, Calder, Rosenquist, Giacometti, Kelly, Rauschenberg, Matta, Siqueiros, Delacroix, Utrillo, Ernst, Lichtenstein, Oldenburg, Léger, Dubuffet and Moore. Max Ernest was a German painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and poet. He was one of the early innovators in the Dada movement and Surrealism. From 1942-1946 he was married to art patron Peggy Guggenheim, and lived in several locations in the United States. |
