À propos de cet article

This exceptional heliogravure after Marc Chagall (1887–1985), titled La Mort de Dorcon (The Death of Dorcon), originates from the acclaimed Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe) suite—one of the artist’s most romantic and visionary bodies of work. Published in 1977 by George Braziller, New York, and printed by Ernst Wartelsteiner, Munich, West Germany, the work captures Chagall’s lyrical color harmonies and dreamlike evocation of Greek mythology and love. Printed on velin paper, measuring 12.5 x 19 inches (31.75 x 48.26 cm), with a centerfold as issued, La Mort de Dorcon (The Death of Dorcon) reflects Chagall’s deep connection to the pastoral tale and his enduring fascination with nature and spirituality. A superb choice for collectors of Marc Chagall prints, modern art, and 20th-century illustration, this piece exemplifies the artist’s mastery of color, composition, and poetic symbolism. Artwork details: Artist: After Marc Chagall (1887–1985) Title: La Mort de Dorcon (The Death of Dorcon), from Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe) Medium: Heliogravure on velin paper Dimensions: 12.5 x 19 inches (31.75 x 48.26 cm), with a centerfold as issued Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1977 Publisher: George Braziller, Editeur, New York Printer: Ernst Wartelsteiner, Munich, West Germany Condition: Well preserved overall, with condition consistent with its age and medium Provenance: From the 1977 Daphnis et Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe) album © Les Editions Verve, Paris, 1961 Notes: From the album Daphnis and Chloe. Published by George Braziller, Editeur, New York; printed by Ernst Wartelsteiner, Munich, West Germany, 1977. Excerpted from the album, Published in 1977 © Les Editions 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 Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), 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 Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), 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 Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), 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 Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), 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 Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe), 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 Chloe (Daphnis and Chloe). About the artist: Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Russian-French modernist painter whose visionary style blended Cubism, Fauvism, and Surrealism with deeply personal symbolism drawn from Jewish folklore, biblical themes, and village life. Born in Vitebsk, Belarus, and later active in Paris, Chagall developed a poetic visual language marked by floating figures, vibrant color, and dreamlike compositions that transcend time and place. His work reflects a synthesis of memory, spirituality, and emotion, positioning him as one of the most expressive and influential artists of the twentieth century. Chagall’s paintings, stained glass, and prints are housed in major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, and the Chagall Museum in Nice. Revered for his fusion of imagination and modernist innovation, his art continues to captivate collectors worldwide. The highest auction price for a Chagall artwork is USD 28,453,000, achieved by Les Amoureux (1928) at Sotheby’s New York in 2017.
