André Marchand (1907-1997) - Suite de compositions abstraites et organiques

Artist: André Marchand (1907 - 1997) Title of the work: Suite of abstract and organic compositions Series: Original illustrations for the literary masterpiece “Une Saison en Enfer” by Arthur Rimbaud [1] Technique: Original color lithographs Era / Year: 1952 [1] Publisher: Les Éditions de la Nouvelle Revue Française (N.R.F.) / Gallimard, Paris. Printer: L'Atelier d'art Desjobert, Paris. Signature: Each work bears the signature of André Marchand printed on the plate. Superb set of period prints by André Marchand, a prominent figure in post-war French art. These lithographs, with strong graphic impact, play with geometric shapes, spirals, and stylized botanical and organic motifs. Marchand deploys his characteristic color palette: deep blues, vibrant greens, touches of violet, and bursts of orange and purple. Printed on high-quality paper by the Desjobert workshop, these works perfectly capture the freedom of lyric abstraction of the 1950s. • Sheet dimensions (sight): Approximately 24.5 x 20.5 cm (or reverse orientation depending on the motif) • Condition: Very good overall vintage condition. The plant and mineral colors have retained a beautiful intensity. • Framing: Each lithograph is presented under glass in a colored wooden frame (burgundy, lavender, black) matching the dominant tones of each composition. Ready to be displayed. States: Good to very good. No restoration anticipated. Overall conservation condition: Very good vintage condition. • Front side (Lithographs): The aesthetic condition of the illustrations is excellent. The color pigments (azure blue, prairie green, orange and purple) remain dense, matte, and free of any fading. The edition paper with wide margins is clean and fresh. • Original particularities: In keeping with their original edition for the bibliophilic work “Une Saison en Enfer” (1952), each sheet bears its original central fold as well as its slightly irregular left edge (linked to the technical separation of the publisher's cahiers). This is a sought-after mark of authenticity. • Notable details (Verso): The versos show very light and uniform aging of the paper with slight foxing and yellowing due to age. A small old oxidation spot (reddish) is visible only on the verso along the right edge of the blue spiral composition (see close-up photo), with no impact on the front face of the work. Each frame will be meticulously protected with bubble wrap, securely placed in rigid reinforced cardboard. Quick grouped shipping with insurance and tracking number.
