Exhibition
The Great Masters of Lithography:
Vintage Posters of Calder, Chagall, Dufy, Léger,
Matisse, Miró, Picasso, and Others
Friday, November 6–Saturday, December 12, 2009
FIAF Gallery
Presented in partnership with Galerie Mourlot New York


The FIAF Gallery is pleased to present a collection of original color lithographs of works by great modern artists including Calder, Chagall, Dufy, Léger, Matisse, Miró, and Picasso.

During the twentieth century, a group of celebrated artists rediscovered the largely unexplored art form of lithography thanks to the Atelier Mourlot, a Parisian printshop founded in 1852 by the Mourlot family. The Atelier Mourlot originally specialized in the printing of wallpaper, but was transformed when the founder‘s grandson, Fernand Mourlot, invited a number of 20th-century artists to explore the complexities of fine art printing. Fernand encouraged the painters to work directly on lithographic stones in order to create original artworks that could then be executed under the direction of master printers in small editions. The combination of modern artist and master printer gave rise to unique and visually striking lithographs, which were beautifully used as posters to promote the artists’ work. The exhibit is presented in partnership with the prestigious Galerie Mourlot New York, which was founded in 2006 by Fernand Mourlot’s grandson, Eric Mourlot.

This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid. Beginning in March 2020, Aitchison utilized video chat platforms to make hundreds of sketches of close friends. The resulting portrait series is at once vibrant and introspective. His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
