Original Marc Chagall Lithographs from the Bible Series

Throughout his life, Marc Chagall created a number of portfolios and illustrated books depicting religious allegories and images. A number of these were devoted specifically to portraying scenes from the Bible. Following the publication of his and Antoine Teriade's 1956 collaborative portfolio of etchings illustrating the Bible, Chagall decided to collaborate with Teriade on another set of twenty-four lithographic illustrations based on their previous portfolio. This brilliant series of lithographs illuminated aspects of the earlier Bible series that both artists felt needed elaboration. This series, titled "Drawings for the Bible," was finished and published by Verve in 1960. These lithographs, as pictured above, combine Chagall's extraordinary drawing skills and ability to create a sense of drama through color and composition, with Teriade's exemplary lithographic technique and skill. Georgetown Frame Shoppe is currently selling "Paradise" (pictured above) for the excellent price of $1,500.00 This work measures 14-3/8" x 10-1/4". All other twenty-three lithographs are available for sale and viewing on our website.


Joan Miro's Constellations

"Constellations", a suite of twenty-two Pochoirs, was created in 1959 after Miro fled to France following the fall of the Spanish Republic. This particular piece, "Le reveil au petite jour", measures 14" x 17", and is one of Miro's 22 Pochoirs from the Constellations series, depicting fantastic figures and shapes within a "celestial space". Andre Breton, the French poet and friend of Joan Miro, composed poems to illustrate, or rather, shed light on the context in which this body of work was created. We are currently selling each Pochoir for $4,000 unframed. Georgetown Frame Shoppe has a great selection of original Joan Miro lithographs. We carry portfolios such as "Ubu Roi", illustrations based on the text of Alfred Jarry, published by Teriade in 1966 and, "Album 21", a portfolio of twenty-one color lithographs made in 1978 and published by Maeght Editeur.

Original Signed Pablo Picasso Vallauris Linocuts

Picasso began making linocuts while working in the south of France on the famous Vallauris Chapel. Originally he intended to employ the technique for the creation of posters for exhibitions at Vallauris, but was inspired to develop his interest further. Picasso worked closely with printer Hidalgo Arnera creating hundreds of prints. Pictured above is one of these lovely linocuts created in 1956. This piece
measures 39-3/8" x 26", and is numbered one out of an edition of thirty unsigned. Twenty-one were reserved for the artist and another 200 were signed by Picasso. This original Picasso linocut is now for sale at the Georgetown Frame Shoppe for $6,500.00.

Marc Chagall Color Lithographs Illustrating the Odyssea

Marc Chagall's "The Odyssea" is a two volume work of illustrations accompanied by the text of the story. The first volume was completed on the 5th of December, 1974. The second on the 20th of June, 1975. Chagall's lithographs for this series were run off the presses of the Mourlot workshop in Paris. In this brilliant work, Chagall sucessfully captures the atmosphere and drama of this epic through his depictions of landscape, water, Antic Temples, intense sunlight, and through his fantastic figures of the Minotaur, Gilgamesh, and Angels. Pictured above is "Ulysses and Penelope." This lovely work measures 12-3/4" x 16-3/4." Please feel free to contact our gallery for the value of this lithograph, and any other from this series which we have available for viewing on our website.
