Charles Sorlier (1921-1990)
Returning to Paris after his sojourn in America during World War II, Chagall met a young wizard of lithographic techniques when visiting the famous Parisian printer Mourlot: Charles Sorlier. Sorlier was soon to become to head of the lithography department at Mourlot's. Artists such as Miro, Léger, Picasso and Matisse took their litho stones to Mourlot's to have them printed. Sorlier compiled a reliable 'catalogue raisonné' for many of these artists. Sometimes he transferred their art onto litho stones, a job at which he was expert.
It was Sorlier who never ceased to encourage Chagall to create colour lithographs. The two were friends and close collaborators for the rest of Chagall's life. Chagall was so pleased with Sorlier's work that he sometimes appended his own signature to it, as with the poster-size colour lithographs of the twelve stained-glass windows for the synagogue in the Hadassah university medical centre in Jerusalem.
