Atelier Mourlot is a famous French lithographic print studio founded in Paris in 1852 by François Mourlot and later run by his descendants, most notably Fernand Mourlot in the mid to late 20th Century. The atelier became world-renowned for producing high quality fine art lithographs for some of the most important modern artists, including Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Miró, Braque, and Léger, typically with direct involvement from the artist. Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was a Spanish-born painter, sculptor, and printmaker who spent most of his adult life in France. He is considered to be one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, best known for, along with Georges Braque, founding the Cubist movement. In addition to Cubism, he also executed works in Neoclassicism and Surrealism. His early works are famously known as the "Blue Period" and "Rose Period". Over a career spanning nearly 80 years, he produced more than 20,000 artworks, making him one of the most prolific artist ever.
