Original lithograph printed in colors on Arches wove paper. Extremely rare proof impression apart from the book edition of 250 plus 20 hors commerce, and apart from the pencil-signed and numbered edition of 60. One of 42 color plates from Daphnis & Chloe, published by Tériade and Editions Verve, Paris, 1962; printed at Atelier Fernand Mourlot, Paris. Sheet size: 41.9 x 64.1 cm (16 1/2 x 25 1/4 in) Image size: 41.9 x 64.1 cm (16 1/2 x 25 1/4 in) Frame size: 76.5 x 98.1 cm (30 1/8 x 38 5/8 in)// Chloe is Carried Off by the Methymneans is a vivid colour lithograph from Chagall's celebrated Daphnis and Chloe suite, one of the crowning achievements of twentieth-century illustrated book art. The scene depicts the dramatic abduction of Chloe by raiders from Methymna, rendered in Chagall's fluid, emotionally charged chromatic language — warm reds, ochres, and greens that convey both the violence of the moment and the pastoral tenderness of the ancient Greek romance. This extremely rare proof impression, apart from the book edition of two hundred and fifty plus twenty hors commerce, offers the lithograph's full colour intensity on individual Arches wove paper rather than bound within the volume. The Daphnis and Chloe series is widely regarded as one of the finest sets of original lithographs ever published.

What is Surrealism?
Artwork by Rene Magritte

What is Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
