Pictured above is a rare and beautiful original work of lithography by
Marc Chagall. Death of Dorcon, as it's titled, is from an edition
of 250, published by Verve on Arches Wove paper, and measures 16-1/2" x 25-1/4"
unframed. Death of Dorcon is from one of Chagall's
most famous series of lithographic illustrations, Daphnis and Chloe.
We are currently offering this beautiful work for $14,000 unframed.
Marc Chagall had always been delighted with the tale of Daphnis and
Chloe, which analyzed the simple, mutual passion of two abandoned
children who are protected by nymphs and the god, Pan. When it was suggested
to Chagall by Tériade (the publisher), that he illustrate the fable
of Daphnis and Chloe, he readily agreed and began his preparation
for the project by making two trips to Greece. While visiting Athens,
Delphi, Olympia, Nauplis and Poros, Chagall executed a number of preliminary
sketches and gouaches for the series. Falling in love with Greece: its
landscape, history and climate, he allowed it to deeply influence his
choice of color and form for the series. It has been said of Chagall that
he neither added nor subtracted from what his imagination understood from
the text. The result was imagery that illustrated the elegy of Daphnis
and Chloe from a more intimate perspective.
The Daphnis and Chloe portfolio is one of the most important graphic
works that Marc Chagall has created. Because of the quality, format and
number of lithographs it contains, the portfolio constitutes a work of
notable importance which, unquestionably, can be placed at the top of
our list of greatest illustrated works of our time. For further details,
please feel free to contact our gallery.
Pablo
Picasso is considered to be one of the great artists of the 20th century.
As much as he was a painter, sculptor, and ceramicist, he was also a great
and prolific print maker. In his lifetime he created a miraculous body
of lithographs, etchings, linocuts and aquatints. Often, using various
print mediums, he chose to illustrate great works of literature, and the
literature and poems of his friends. Lysistrata, Sable Mouvant and Vignt
Poemes are just a select few of the vast body of Picasso's illustrative
portfolios.
Pictured here is the original signed Pablo Picasso linocut,

Joan Miro (1893-1983) ranks among the most important artists of the 20th
century. An inventive and imaginative painter, sculptor, ceramicist and
printmaker, Miro changed forever the course of modern art. Although Miro
derived his own visual vocabulary from nature, Miro's artworks are frequently
viewed as interesting abstract compositions, an effect that is enhanced
by his vivid palette. More than any of his contemporaries, Miros
iconography forms a bridge between figurative and abstract imagery, and
had a profound influence on succeeding generations of artists. Joan Miros
sparsely ordered lyrical canvases of the 1920s and 30s catapulted
him to the fore of the Surrealist movement. A classification that persists
yet he and his artwork stand apart as unique. However, the Surrealist
precept of automatism (allowing the subconscious to dictate forms) helped
to fuel Miro's vivid imagination throughout his career, leading him to
spawn sensuous biomorphic imagery with universal appeal.
Pictured above is an early pochoir by Joan Miro. This rare work dates
back to 1934. Titled Cahiers d'art I / Surrealist Composition I,
it measures 21" x 24" framed. It is from an edition size of
1200 unsigned, referenced in catalogue raisonne Dupin, no.14. We are currently
offering this wonderful original work of Surrealist art with it's counterpart,
Cahiers d'art II / Surrealist Composition II, as a set for $11,000
($5,500 each). Please contact our gallery for further details.

Pictured above is an original Henri Matisse Lithograph titled La Chute
d'Icare (The Fall of Icarus), one of the first versions of Matisse's
later famed series of pochoirs titled Jazz. This work is signed
in the plate, and published by Verve,1945. This original color lithograph
was created after one of Matisse's own gouche paper cut-outs. The paper
cut out', Matisse explained in 1951, 'allows me to draw in colour. It
is for me a matter of simplification. Instead of drawing the contour and
filling in the colour--one modifying the other--I draw directly into the
colour, which is all the more controlled in that it is not transposed.'
Georgetown Frame Shoppe is currently offering this work for $2,500 framed
with archival materials.
Pictured above is the original Pierre-Auguste Renoir etching Femme
Couchee (Tournee a Gauche). This work was published in 1906, and signed
in the plate in the lower right hand corner, as referenced in catalogue
raisonne Delteil, no.15. This beautiful work measures 19" x 17"
framed. We are currently offering this original Renoir etching framed
with archival materials for $7000. To view more original Renoir etchings
