Note: | Alexandre Lunois: An important turn-of-the-century French lithographer and painter, Alexandre Lunois began his professional career in 1882 when he exhibited a set of reproductive lithographs in Paris. In 1888 he began exhibiting his first original lithographs. In the following year Edmond Sagot began publishing his prints and by 1890 Lunois had established himself as a leading lithographic artist. In the 1890's he was commissioned by such important artistic publications as L'Estampe originale and L'Estampe moderne. |
Alexandre Lunois was a full member of the Societe des artistes lithographes francais and of the Peintres Orientalists. A very well traveled artist, Lunois's vibrant depictions of the peoples of North Africa, Spain, Holland, Turkey, Arabia and Scandinavia are among his greatest works of art. | |
During the 1890's Alexandre Lunois's fame rested not only upon his fine draughtsmanship but upon his then revolutionary technique. He was one of the premier artists to experiment with watercolor-like effects in lithography. He achieved these effects by applying liquid tusche with a brush to the lithographic stone. Termed, 'Wash Lithography', one can easily see the mastery of Lunois's methods in Guitarrera (Guitarrista). Of further interest, Alexandre Lunois introduced both Vuillard and Bonnard to this delicate technique in the early 1890's. They of course made their own lithographic masterpieces during the following years. | |
Guitarrera 'Guitarrista' (Guitar Player) was one of several original lithographs created for a portfolio published in 1898 by T. Fisher Unwin entitled, Lithography & Lithographers:Some chapters in the history of the art, by Elizabeth Robins Pennell; together with desriptions and technical explanations of modern artistic methods by Joseph Pennel. In this work Pennell examined the artistic advancements of lithography, with particular emphasis on his contemporaries. With this in mind he commissioned original lithographs from seven artists, including James McNeil Whistler, Alphonse Legros, William Strang, C. H. Shannon and Alexandre Lunois. | |
