Unsigned, as issued. Sheet: 42.5 x 64 cm (16¾ x 25¼ in.) Published by Mourlot, Paris Referenced in Cramer, Chagall: The Illustrated Books, no. 96; Sorlier: 787. In excellent condition, the sheet fresh and vibrant, with no evidence of light exposure or discolouration. The work has been framed for the first time by the present gallery, using high quality materials. -- Marc Chagall's L'Odyssée series, created in 1974, is a collection of lithographs inspired by Homer's epic The Odyssey. The series reflects Chagall's signature dreamlike and fantastical style, blending mythology with his personal artistic vision. Themes and Symbolism: - The lithographs depict key moments from The Odyssey, emphasizing themes of adventure, divine intervention, and human struggle. - Chagall’s signature floating figures, celestial beings, and surreal color palette create an ethereal atmosphere. - The series features Odysseus and other mythological characters, often surrounded by hybrid creatures, angels, and sea-inspired imagery. - The use of rich blues, greens, and warm tones evokes the Mediterranean landscapes and the mystical aura of Homer’s tale. Artistic Style: - Chagall employs a mix of abstraction and figuration, with loose, expressive lines and vibrant color washes. - His interpretation focuses on emotional depth rather than strict narrative accuracy, emphasizing the poetic and allegorical nature of The Odyssey. Historical Context: - Commissioned as a visual homage to classical literature, the L'Odyssée series aligns with Chagall’s broader interest in mythology, spirituality, and storytelling. - It is considered one of his major lithographic achievements, alongside his Bible illustrations and works inspired by Russian folklore.
