Marc Chagall
Frontispiece, from Daphnis et Chloé (Mourlot 308; Cramer Books 46)
This lithograph serves as the frontispiece to Chagall's illustrated edition of the classical love story Daphnis et Chloé, created in 1961 and published by the renowned Tériade Éditeur in Paris. Printed in multiple colors by the master printer Mourlot, the work exemplifies Chagall's poetic approach to book illustration through his characteristic blend of dreamlike imagery and intimate subject matter. Limited to an edition of 60, this impressively scaled print on Arches paper remains a significant example of twentieth century livre d'artiste production.
