Classical Modernism Chagall, Marc Lsa ruse de Dorcon, from: Daphnis and Chloé. 1961. Colour lithograph on vellum. 42 x 32 cm. Mounted on the reverse of the passe-partout at the corners in a few places. - Barely visible discolouration; a few very slight, smoothed creases in the lower corners; a small tear (approx. 0.5 cm) on the upper left edge; overall in very good condition. An absolutely superb, vibrantly coloured print of the full-format illustration. Mourlot 317. Cramer Books 46. – One of 250 copies. – Published by Tériade Éditeur, Paris. - With this 42-part cycle based on the ancient love story of Daphnis and Chloe by the Greek writer Longus, Chagall transports us in the mid-20th century to the fairy-tale world of an Arcadian natural landscape. According to the ancient tale, the foundlings Daphnis and Chloe grow up on the Aegean island of Lesbos, spend their childhood with shepherds, are separated from one another, are reunited, fall in love and eventually come across their parents. An ancient story steeped in bucolic tradition, transported by Chagall into the modern age. Colour lithograph on wove paper. Verso spot-mounted at the corners to the mat’s back. - Barely visible browning, very slight smoothed crease marks in the lower corners, small marginal tear in the top left (approx. 0.5 cm); all in all, very good condition.
