Title: Les fleurs saccagées, Daphnis et Chloé
Year: 1977
Medium: Lithograph on wove paper
Size: 12.5 x 9.5 inches
Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued
Notes: From the album, Daphnis and Chloe. Published by George Braziller, Éditeur, New York; printed by Ernst Wartelsteiner, Munich, West Germany, 1977. Excerpted from the album, Published in 1977 © Les Éditions Verve, Paris, 1961. For information address the publisher:
George Braziller, Inc., One Park Avenue, New York, New York 10016. The George Moore translation of Daphnis et Chloé, reproduced in this volume, has been drawn from an edition published in 1934 by The Limited Editions Club, Inc. Printed in West Germany. Publisher’s preface: When it was suggested to Chagall that he illustrate the fable of "Daphnis et Chloé" he began his preparation by making two trips to Greece. And it is the very essence of the Greek landscape that was absorbed by the artist and then recreated on pages drenched in blue, shimmering with the sunniest yellow, shadowed in palest mauve. Beginning with a pastoral story of young love, Chagall produced fifty-eight original color lithograph pages for a limited edition published in 1961 that has since become priceless. Now, for the first time, an adaptation of Chagall's magnificent illustrations to "Daphnis et Chloé," printed in seven colors and integrated with the charming story, is being made available in an edition which will enable many more people to possess this masterpiece, to be enchanted by the artist's soaring color harmonies and the touching nakedness of bodies evoking the infinite softness of the air on the island of Lesbos. It has been said of Chagall that he uses only what he finds in a text; he neither adds nor subtracts. The magic in his work consists in his internalizing the story, subjecting it to that "alchemy" which makes each of his books a whole endowed with a life of its own. In "Daphnis et Chloé" a personal dream has been transformed into a universal Eden where the figures seem to float in an atmosphere of infinite happiness whose warmth is all-pervasive. Perhaps the most fitting description of Chagall's vibrantly romantic illustrations comes from the Prologue to "Daphnis et Chloé," which begins: "Whilst hunting in the island of Lesbos I saw in a grove consecrated to the nymphs the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life, a painted carving figuring a human love story in all its joys and tribulations." Every effort has been made to reproduce this masterwork with exacting fidelity to the beauty of the original lithographs in Chagall's "Daphnis et Chloé."
MARC CHAGALL (1897-1985) Russian-Jewish painter is recognized as one of the most significant painters and graphic artists of his time. Chagall painted in a style all his own, combining elements of Expressionism, Symbolism, Cubism and, to a lesser degree, other Modernist art movements. His works combine recollection with folklore and fantasy. A prolific and multi-faceted artist, Chagall left behind him thousands of works in many different techniques and media that have established him as one of the foremost artists of the 20th Century.
