Maurice de Vlaminck is a French Fauvist painter whose works have bright and brilliant hues, characteristic of the movement. Like Henri Matisse and André Derain, de Vlaminck was influenced by postimpressionism. The use of colour and the brushstrokes of Vincent van Gogh are a great source of inspiration. Whether it is landscapes or portraits, the application of bold colors is found in Vlaminck’s paintings. Born on April 4, 1876 in Paris, the self-taught artist practised painting as a hobby until he met Derain in 1900. He also tried his hand at engraving and writing throughout his career. He died on 11 October 1958 in Rueil-la-Gadelière at the age of 82.

Function: Printer

French engravers and printers Aldo Crommelynck (1931-2008) and his brother Piero (1934-2001) were the sons of Belgian playwright Fernand Crommelynck. After an apprenticeship in Roger Lacourière’s workshop in Montmartre, they opened their own workshop in Paris, rue de Gergovie, in 1959. They will become the collaborators and printers of Braque, Delvaux, Giacometti, Hartung, Le Corbusier, Marini, Masson, Matisse, Miro, Picasso and Vilon.

In 1963, their installation in Mougins marked the beginning of a decade of collaboration with Picasso. They produced nearly 750 prints there until the death of the painter. In 1973, the Crommelyncks joined Paris and opened a new workshop, rue de Grenelle, until their separation in 1985. This is where English and American artists Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, Jim Dine…

After 1985, when Aldo settled in New York, Piero continued his activities in the Parisian studio with a new generation of artists including Jean Le Gac, Jean-Michel Alberola, Jean-Michel Meurice, Pierre Alechinsky, Jean-Pierre Pincemin, Gérard Titus-Carmel…

In 1986, Aldo Crommelynck opened a second studio in New York in association with Pace Editions, a department of the Pace-Wildenstein gallery particularly influential on the American contemporary scene. He will work with Claes Oldenburg, Ed Ruscha, Keith Haring and Robert Morris.
