INFORMATION: Jean-Pascal Lorriaux was a passionate collector who had the idea of publishing a collection of lithographs showcasing the hands of the great artists of his time. For example, Chagall,
Picasso, Fautrier (whose assistant and close friend he was in the last years of his life), Foujita, Cocteau, Lurcat, and Mathieu would all visit his studio to engrave their hand on
rock
lithographic. Lorriaux will not have time to finalize his project and only a few trials - including this rare lithograph - will be carried out.

He started his artistic career with engraving and illustration. In the beginning of the 1900's, he is influenced by Edgar Degas, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Some years later, he is part of the group of Puteaux. His work includes more than 700 canvases. Aged 82, he realised 5 stain-glass windows of the Saint-Etienne Cathedral in Metz. His works are included in the collections of the biggest museums in France, Japan, USA, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Portugal, Great Britain...
