Marc CHAGALL (1887-1985)(after)
Ares and Aphrodite, 1989
Lithography
Unsigned
On Fabriano vellum approximately 37.5 x 29.5 cm
INFORMATION: Limited edition of 2500 copies, printed in lithography with 8 to 12 color passages for each plate in order to perfectly restore the finesse of the original edition. In order to ensure a wider distribution of this work, which Chagall held dear, his wife Vava supervised this second edition in 1989 (after that of Mourlot in 1974 - Catalogue raisonné Mourlot 749-830).
Marc Chagall's illustrations for the story "Odyssey" are a tribute to Homer's epic. Chagall himself visited Greece twice and was greatly inspired by ancient mythological motifs during his travels.
Excellent condition
