Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) (after) - Lot 91

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) (after) Lunch on the Grass. Circa 1914. Lithograph by André Clot. 380x333. Cherpin 9. color print. Trial proof on chine volant, before erasing the notches in the corners. Strong oblique print crease in the upper left part of the subject. Short tears, creases and dusting at the edges of the folio. Small tears in upper and lower right corners. "This print is based on a painting from 1877-1882. It is only distantly related to Édouard Manet's Déjeuner sur l'herbe (Paris, Musée d'Orsay), which caused a scandal at the Salon of 1863, and was finally exhibited at the famous Salon des refusés the same year. According to André Clot's testimony to Jean Cherpin in 1956, the print of this lithograph was not made until around 1914, six years after Paul Cézanne's death, by the son of the engraver Auguste Clot."
