Héliogravure on vélin paper. 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) was a Russian-French artist. An early modernist, he was associated with the École de Paris as well as several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. Chagall was born into a Jewish family near Vitebsk, today in Belarus, but at that time in the Pale of Settlement of the Russian Empire. Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During that period, he created his own mixture and style of modern art, based on his ideas of Eastern European and Jewish folklore. He spent the wartime years in his native Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College. He later worked in and near Moscow in difficult conditions during hard times in Russia following the Bolshevik Revolution, before leaving again for Paris in 1923. During World War II, he escaped occupied France to the United States, where he lived in New York City for seven years before returning to France in 1948. Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century". According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz as well as the Fraumünster in Zürich, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk." "When Matisse dies", Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is.” In November 2017, Chagall’s painting, Les Amoureux, sold for $28.5 million USD at Sotheby's New York, which set the world record for the artist.
