Biography

Jean-Pascal Lorriaux was a passionate collector who had the idea of publishing a collection of lithographs presenting the hands of the great artists of his time. Thus Chagall, Picasso, Fautrier (whose assistant and close friend he was during the last years of his life), Foujita, Cocteau, Lurcat or Mathieu would come to his studio to engrave their hand on lithographic stone. Lorriaux will not have time to finalize his project and only a few tests – including this rare lithograph – will be made.
