"Lysistrata, " Set of 61 Extraordinary Art Deco Prints for 1945 Edition by L'hoir
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This extraordinary set of 61 prints on 34 separate sheets of rag paper by Maurice L'Hoir were made in connection with the 1945 publication of Lysistrata, the Classic Greek poem that offers a licentious take on the war between the sexes. Each of the prints is a woodcut that was inked by hand in a brilliant palette of deep red, mossy green, deep black and warm fleshy tones by the artist Each of these images were created for the book, only 33 copies of which were made. However, this set is independent of the book and therefore each print is unbound and easy to frame. The Greek poem famously describes the determination of Greek women to refuse all sex with men until they agreed to stop fighting. L'Hoir was famed for his book illustrations during the Art Deco period; he also designed a poster for Moulin Rouge in the 1920s. (The Lysistrata book is also available, separate from this set of prints.).
