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, Minaux, Miró, Braque, and Léger. These prints were made using authentic fine art lithographic techniques, typically with direct involvement from the artist, and are considered artworks in their own, not just reproductions. André Minaux (1923–1986) was a French painter associated with the postwar School of Paris. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Minaux developed a figurative style marked by strong structure and dense color, at a time when non-figurative art dominated the European avant-garde. His work encompasses still lifes, landscapes, nudes, and portraits, often imbued with a quiet gravity and classical restraint. Drawing on the traditions of French painting while maintaining a distinctly modern sensibility, Minaux pursued an art rooted in observation, balance, and permanence.
