About this title

Synopsis

Lavishly produced using impeccable digital color separations and the finest printing, this catalogue raisonne of Chagall's lithographs documents 1050 works, each with complete identifying signature and edition information.

Reviews

This sumptuous production succeeds as both an exhibition catalog (for a show in Stuttgart to Hamburg this spring) and a catalogue raisonn of 1050 Chagall lithographs drawn from the incomparable collection of his printer for 35 years, Charles Sorlier (192190). Fernand Mourlot and Sorlier authored the definitive six-volume lithograph oeuvre catalog (196086). The present catalog describes and reproduces, often in resonant colors, each print in the Sorlier collection, which date from 1922 to 1985. Descriptions update and enhance information from Mourlot/Sorlier, thus creating the most complete entries for prints included in both sources. Many prints carry dedications and playful doodles by Chagall. Interspersed are one-page critical texts on trademark series such as Daphnis and Chloe and The Circus. Interviews with Chagall, texts on his lithography, and writings on the Sorlier collaboration and collection serve as an introduction; a biographical chronology, bibliography, and interviews in their original versions complete the work. This monumental undertaking is of supreme importance to research collections.Russell T. Clement, Univ. of Tennessee Lib., Knoxville
