About the Item
Lithograph from Carlos Schwabe’s series of hand-colored Symbolist fantasy illustrations for Catulle Mendès’ Hésperus, published in 1904 by Société de propagation des livres d'art, Paris. This work comes from the extremely scarce edition on Imperial Japon paper, a mulberry bark-based stock inspired by the smooth-surfaced papers used in Japanese printmaking. This artwork is presented in an archival rag mat and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
“The idea of the androgyne as the pure state of humanity before the Fall represented the achievement of grace and was a frequent subject of 19th century mystic art and literature. The metaphysical significance of androgyny can be traced back to the alchemical writings of Paracelsus and Böhme.”
-Quoted from Thomas Negovan’s Le Pater: Alphonse Mucha's Symbolist Masterpiece and the Lineage of Mysticism (2019)
Notable museum collections featuring works by Carlos Schwabe include: Musée d'Orsay, Paris; Louvre Museum Database, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Art Institute of Chicago; National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
