Description
La Table is an original etching by Louis Marcoussis, the Polish-French printmaker born Ludwik Kazimierz Władysław Markus in Łódź — sources differ on whether in 1878 or 1883 — who settled in Paris, adopted the name of a village outside the city, and became one of the more technically accomplished etchers within the Cubist circle around Picasso and Braque, whom he knew personally from his Montparnasse years before the First World War. Marcoussis returned to printmaking with particular intensity at the start of the 1930s, producing the etched suites for which he is now best remembered, including Planches de Salut and illustrations for Apollinaire’s Alcools and Nerval’s Aurélia; his still-life etchings from this period, of which the present sheet is an example, apply Cubism’s faceted planes and interpenetrating outlines to everyday tabletop subjects — bottles, fruit, musical instruments — built up through fine, incisive line work rather than the broad colour fields of his painted Cubism. The sheet measures 48.8 × 37.5 cm. Marcoussis’s prints are catalogued in Solange Milet’s Louis Marcoussis: Catalogue raisonné de l’œuvre gravé (1991); the specific reference and precise edition figures for this sheet were not independently confirmed in the course of this research.
Presentation
Marcoussis is the pseudonym of the French-born Polish painter Ludwik Casimir Markus, who came from a wealthy Jewish family in Warsaw. He moved to Paris in 1903 and gained French nationality thanks to the value demonstrated during World War I. He made his first impressionist paintings and earned money by selling caricatures to satirical magazines, including "La Vie Parisienne" and "Le Journal". He attentively attended Parisian coffees as La Rotonde, Cirque Médrano and L'Ermitage, where he met Edgar Degas around 1906 and Braque, Picasso, Gris and Apollinaire in 1910. Apollinaire, the influential poet of the Calligrams, suggests him to adopt the French pseudonym of "Marcoussis", inspired by a suburb of Paris near Montlhéry. The Apollinaire's influence will never abandon him.
