The Atelier Lacourière-Frélaut was a printer specializing in fine printmaking in Paris. In the 1930s the Atelier produced prints for Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.[1]

It was founded by Roger Lacourière (1892-1966) in 1929.[2] The establishment was taken over by Jacques Frélaut when Lacourière retired in 1957.[3]

In 1979 the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris held the 50th anniversary retrospective "L'Atelier Lacourière-Frélaut ou 50 ans de gravures et d'impressions en taille-douce 1929-1979".[1]

The Atelier closed in 2008.[3]
