Description: This lithograph was produced by Mourlot for the artist’s exhibition ‘House of French Thought’ in Paris in 1961 towards the end of his life.
Artist: André Lhote was a French cubist painter and influential teacher and writer on art. His subjects included figures, portraits, landscapes and still life. Born in Bordeaux in France, he grew into a talented wood carver and sculptor and by the age of twelve, his father apprenticed him to a local furniture maker. He trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux for six years from 1898.
He was a self-taught painter. Influenced by Gauguin and Cézanne, he held his first solo exhibition at the Galerie Druet in 1910 in Paris. His style shifted from fauvism towards cubism and he became one of the important creators of modern art. After joining the army during the First World War, he co-founded the art journal on art theory Nouvelle Revue Français and remained a contributor until 1940. He was a hugely respected art teacher at the Academie Notre-Dame des Champs from 1918-1920 and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and founded his own school, Academy André Lhote in Montparnasse in 1922 with many notable and successful students. He lectured all over the world.
