Paul Jouve
Paul Jouve must have been both the youngest and the longest-surviving
contributor to the great Art Nouveau print series L'Estampe Moderne.
Jouve entered the École des Arts décoratifs at 15, and learned lithography
under Henri-Patrice Dillon. His favourite subject was wild animals.
Paul Jouve was born in Marlotte, Seine-et-Marne. (Idbury Prints)
"Jouve will dedicate his life to the exaltation of the world
of animals and will remain indisputable one of the masters of XXth
century Animalier Art. Recognized as such, his works are presented
in collections belonging to the greatest museums in France and around
the world.
Paul Jouve covered zoos all over the world to observe lions, tigers
and panthers. His paintings, with a perfect anatomical details, are
powerful reminders of the suppleness, the nobility of big wildcats.
His unequalled characteristic style, makes him the main representative
of the wildcats."(pauljouve.com)
Mucha Cover
Not unlike the Maitre de L'Affiche series, L'Estampe
Moderne was a portfolio printed between 1897-98, published
by Imprimerie Champenois, Paris, contained 24 monthly portfolios,
with four original lithographs in each. Each commissioned only for
this series. Some of the contributing artists included Mucha, Rhead,
Meunier, Ibels, Steinlen, Willette and Grasset.
