Laurens, Henri

Medium: pochoir. Published in Paris in 1929 by Charles Moreau in a limited edition for the cover of L'Art Cubiste. This is a magnificent and rich impression printed by pochoir master Daniel Jacomet; it is presumed that no more than 1000 impressions were printed and this edition is now rather rare. Image size: 5 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches (150 x 108mm); with text above and beneath the image, as issued. Not signed.

Condition: as this was the actual cover, there is some wear and staining to the margins.

Cahiers d'Art was published in Paris from 1926-1960 by Greek art collector, writer and art critic Christian Zervos. The rarest and most sought-after issues of this art revue were those issued in the 1930's containing original pochoirs by Miro and Marcel Duchamp. Zervos had high technical standards, and these works are truly stunning.
