Description
Up for sale from a recent estate in Honolulu Hawaii this rare early 1934 French/Mexican color lithograph print that is untitled but depicts a Mother and baby and was created by the well known artist Jean Charlot (1898-1979). This is a very large very early example from his days with Diego Rivera and other Mexican modernist artist. The condition is described above - for more information please check the photos. The item has condition issues but if you are not shying away from a spending a bit more money I can refer you to a conserver that can straighten this piece out so it will look like the day it rolled of the printing press.
Measurements:
Print 27 inches x 17.5 inches
Sheet 33 inches x 23 inches
More about the artist:
Jean Charlot was born in France in the 1880's. He had Aztec ancestors and moved with his mother to Mexico after studying at the Ecole de Beaux arts in Paris and serving as an artillery officer at the end of WWI. He quickly established himself in the art community of Mexico City in the very early 1920's and befriended Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros and Jose Orozco, main figures in the Mexican Mural movement of the early twenties that quickly spread to the USA.
Charlot and the others visited the USA and taught - mostly in New York City - the true fresco technique, which Charlot taught to the other Mexican muralists. In 1947, Jean Charlot moved his family to Colorado Springs, Colorado to take over as head of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Art School from which Boardman Robinson had just retired. He also taught at the private school for boys in Colorado Springs, The Fountain Valley School.
Charlot resigned over a dispute involving tenure and other differences of opinion with the administration of the Art Center. He moved to Hawaii to teach at the University and remained there for about thirty years until his death in 1979. He won many awards for his work.
He has written many scholarly essays and books and lectured and taught at a host of schools. He is the person who singlehandedly resurrected the work of Jose Guadalupe Posada, the great Mexican engraver of popular art - especially the "Day of the Dead" skeleton figures that are so well known today.
