Abstract

en_US
Here is a large-format (9½" by 11¾") book presenting all 100 of the hand-colored engravings done by Chagall. This publication has helped me understand one more step in the process of Chagall illustrating La Fontaine. He hand-colored some 85 sets of the 200 engravings published by Teriade in 1952. Goldmark got possession of one of the folios of those 85, and they are selling them off with this catalogue. Every one of the 100 hand-colored engravings is represented here, whether in a full-page illustration or a group of four or a group of nine. The average price of each of these hand-colored engravings seems to be in excess of £3000. I still do not understand well what these colored engravings have to do with the gouaches that he started with back in the 20's, but that is okay. I understand more now. This edition chooses to offer, at its end, the texts of Elizur Wright for each of these fables. One could have done a lot worse! The representation of the illustrations is fine. I am happy to have found this book!
