L'Aurore by Eugène Carrière, Symbolist lithograph, 1898

1898

About the Item

Shrouded in light and shadow, a figure halts in anxiety while a precipice forms the horizon. Carrière echoes fellow Symbolist Edvard Munch’s Der Schrei der Natur (also known by the popular name “The Scream”) in L’Aurore, a quintessential example of Carrière’s misty and spectral body of work. An 1897 oil study for this work sold for 26,400 GBP (approximately $36,190) at Christie’s in 2007. Stone lithograph of Eugène Carrière‘s poster advertising L’Aurore, a liberal French literary newspaper.
