Mourlot's lithographs are period proofs especially sought after by today's collectors. The Mourlot Studio - also known as Imprimerie Mourlot, Mourlot Freres e atelier Mourlot - is a commercial workshop founded in 1852 in Paris by the Mourlot Family. In the 1920s, Fernand Mourlot (son and heir of its founder, Jules Mourlot) transformed part of the studio, devoting himself exclusively to lithographic printing.
Creator of Cubism together with Braque, Picasso's painting was a turning point in the history of art. He began his studies in 1895, at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and only two years later he had his first individual exhibition, at the café "Els Quatre Gats". After several short stays in Paris, Picasso settled definitively in the French capital in 1904. The definitive international recognition will come in 1939, as a result of the retrospective that the MOMA in New York dedicates to him. During the following decades, anthological exhibitions will be dedicated to him all over the world, in Rome, Milan, Paris, Cologne and New York, among many other cities. He is represented in the most important museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan, the MOMA and the Guggenheim in New York, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the National Gallery in London or the Reina Sofia in Madrid.
