Rare Original Marc Chagall Lithographs

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.


Original Signed Pablo Picasso Linocuts

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, Musse Municipal D'Art Moderne Ceret. This wonderful piece is hand signed by Pablo Picasso in the lower right hand corner. It's numbered 39 out of an edition of 125, published by Arnea, Vallauris in 1958. This work measures 25-5/8" x 18-3/4". Musse Municipal D'art Moderne Ceret is referenced in the Czw catalogue raisonne, no. 32.

Original Joan Miro Pochoirs

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, Miro’s iconography forms a bridge between figurative and abstract imagery, and had a profound influence on succeeding generations of artists. Joan Miro’s sparsely ordered lyrical canvases of the 1920’s and 30’s 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.

Original Henri Matisse Lithographs


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.


Original Pierre-Auguste Renoir Etchings

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.
