The Atelier Desjobert was a Parisian printmaking workshop, founded in 1923 by Edmond Charles Léon Desjobert.[1][2] Grounded in traditional lithographic techniques, it became an influential centre for experimentation in printmaking in the 20th century and was notably popular with British and American artists.
Among those who worked there were Pablo Picasso, Andrée Ruellan, Stanley William Hayter, Adolf Dehn, Marie Laurencin, and Louis Lozowick.[3][4][5][1]
Edmond Desjobert was born on 23 March 1888 in Sarthe, France.[2] He trained as a master lithographer before founding Atelier Desjobert in Paris at 59 rue du Moulin‑Vert in Paris. The studio relocated several times within the Montparnasse area of Paris, eventually settling at 10 Villa Cœur‑de‑Vey. Upon Desjobert's death in 1953, his son Jacques Desjobert, who had trained in the atelier since childhood, took over.[1]
Under their guidance, the Atelier Desjobert became known not only for technical excellence but also for fostering a collegial, collaborative environment between artists and artisans.[6]
