Artist: Chagall Marc
Artist Biography: Fernand Mourlot had graduated from art-school and thus was acquainted with several artists from the Ecole de Paris who were interested in creating lithography but lacked knowledge and money to do so. He invited them to the studio and this marked the beginning of years of cooperation between Fernand Mourlot, later on his son Jacques and artists like Chagall, Picasso, Matisse, Gris, Braque, Léger, Miro and dozens of other famous names.With Mourlot's work on advanced printing techniques and inks, and his revolutionary decision to invite the artists to the studio to do the work directly on the stone; the stone lithograph process had a resurgence of popularity among the leading artists. In addition to Chagall, Picasso's most important lithograph editions were done by the artist in a studio at Mourlot. The results of this cooperation were so astonishing that more and more gallery-owners chose to have their posters printed by Mourlot. For many years Mourlot had worked for museums only, but now a stream of new customers presented itself. This resulted in a huge production of different posters.
