Description

These visually strink prints are rare and beautiful works of art sought after by collectors and museums all over the world. They were originally created to advertise upcoming exhibits and cultural events. They were often designed by the artists themselves and produced under the direction of master printers in limited numbers using the process of lithography. Mourlot was the most famous and prolific manufacturer of these images. Over is 150 year history, it produced thousands of these prints, working with artists, such as Picasso, Matisse, Miro and countless others. Lithography is an intricate and time-consuming process where each color is printed separately from stones or plates. Offering the highest quality and the most vibrant colors, these works were all handcrafted.
