- Lot Description
Jean Charlot (also Louis Henri Jean Charlot, French, naturalized American, active in Mexico, 1898-1979). "Procession at Chalma" lithograph, ca. 1947. Signed in pencil at lower right. A strong impression of an early composition by Jean Charlot. Charlot has depicted a procession of children approaching a doorway, the child in front carrying an image of Veronica's Veil with the head of Christ wearing the crown of thorns. The children behind carry a platform with the Virgin Mary who carries a Cross or alternatively is being pierced in the heart by a sword to represent Our Lady of Sorrows. Church towers rise in the distance. A wonderful composition that features Charlot's signature style favoring bold geometrical forms and the abstraction of the human figure which was quite popular among the Mexican Muralists. Size: 13.375" L x 9.625" W (34 cm x 24.4 cm); 22.25" L x 18.375" W (56.5 cm x 46.7 cm) framed
Born in Paris to a Russian emigre father and a mother whose family originated in Mexico City, with a grandfather who was French-Indian mestizo, Charlot moved to Mexico City in 1920 when his mother returned. Joining Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco, Charlot painted frescoes for the Mexican government during the rise of the Mexican Modernist mural movement. In addition, he was hired as a staff artist for a Carnegie Institute archaeological expedition in the Yucatan. In 1929, Charlot moved to the United States, as was popular with many of the Mexican Modernists, and taught at various institutions: the Art Students League in New York City, the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center, the University of Georgia, and the University of Hawaii.
This lithograph is also held in major museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (accession number 60.713.67) and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (accession number 49.162).
