Description of the work

Large original lithograph by Chuta Kimura, a Japanese painter settled in France, recognized for his sensitive pictorial universe and his work on light, color, and form.

This work is part of the context of the exhibition dedicated to Kimura by the Kriegel Gallery in Paris, in February and March 1977. It belongs to an art edition produced on this occasion, bearing witness to the collaboration between the artist and the Mourlot workshop, renowned Parisian printer specialized in lithography and the printing of works of art.

The colophon of the book states that the cover as well as the interior print are original lithographs by Kimura, produced by the Mourlot workshop in Paris. The printing was completed on 15 February 1977.

It is therefore a true original lithograph, and not a simple photomechanical reproduction. This documented editorial provenance is an important element for print enthusiasts and collectors of modern art.

With its generous format of 52 × 42 cm, this work offers a strong visual presence and allows full appreciation of the artist's graphic work.

Interest for collectors

This lithograph presents several interesting characteristics: an edition linked to a Parisian exhibition of 1977, a work produced by the Mourlot workshop, and an attribution to Chuta Kimura explicitly indicated in the book.

A work meant for lovers of original 20th-century prints and collectors who are receptive to collaborations between artists and lithographic ateliers.
