15. Jean Frélaut (1879-1954) Allée de Village en Bretagne |

Allée de Village en Bretagne
Drypoint, 1945, 248 x 197 mm., B. N. Inv. 353, Frélaut 467. A fine impression with burr and light plate tone on simili-japon with good margins, signed, titled, dedicated and numbered in pencil from the edition of 35, ex collection PK (not in Lugt). Also a Breton, though born in Grenoble, Frélaut was an immensely prolific and successful print maker. One would not be truly aware of that in English-speaking countries, though, where he is best known for having printed many of the etchings of Pablo Picasso. Our loss! Frélaut’s distinctive landscapes and genre scenes, frequently with his idiosyncratic leafless but alive trees, occupy a special place in the French Etching Revival. Highly sophisticated in technique (Frélaut knew everything about etching and drypoint), there is a certain intended naiveté about them that is totally charming.
