“Fernand
Mourlot has long been the acknowledged master printer of France in every
field, from lithographs to fine books to posters. The unfailing quality of
his work commands the respect of museums, collectors, and most important
of all, the artists themselves. Every product of his workshop bears the
mark of Mourlot’s discipline and craft and can truly be called an ideal
collaboration between artist and artisan... The result of years of
thoughtful planning, this special exhibition presents an accurate portrait
of the Mourlot Press. We are greatly indebted to Fernand Mourlot, who made
the selection, supervised the production of the catalogue, and gave
endless time and energy to the details of preparation.”
– S. Dillon Ripley, Secretary, Smithsonian Institute. |
