1937Best.-Nr. 510540Verve 1937. First Edition. Paperback. FINE. Complete run of the first four issues of Teriade's legendary art magazine. Beginning with a stunning cover produced by Matisse for the first issue Verve would incorporate fresh artwork into its cover designed newly commissioned by artists such as Miro Picasso Chagall and other leading lights of the French art world. Each issue offered spectacular color lithographs printed by the Paris lithographers Mourlot. Early issues came in litho-printed card wrappers in boxes later volumes would be in paper-over board with litho covers. This choce allowed Teriade to feature the fresh lithographic artwork in the cover design but left the books themselves extremely fragile and succeptible to wear. Additionally the full-page lithographs have been continuous targets for art dealers looking to excise the plates. So condition seen here is quite rare with each volume preserved COMPLETE FINE with no signs of the wear and toning so commonly seen. 'The cover of Verve No. 1 is by Henri Matisse; it consists of three unmodulated colors--red blue and black--that the master cut directly from printers' ink specimen books. . Mattisse's cover for the first issue lithographed by Fernand Mourlot printers was an original work of art created expressly for the magazine--as would be practically all of the Verve's covers. . The painter took great pains to make sure that the cover would turn out exactly as he wished. . THe care Matisse lavished on what others might consider a minor undertaking was one of the hallmarks of Teriade's publications. How did he induce the greatest artists of this century to give the very best of themelves . Matisse and Teriade shared a common ideal. For both of them painting was life itself.'

Folio original lithographic dust jacket over boards. $1500.First edition of this exceptional volume of 26 Chagall heliogravures accompanied by 26 tipped-in color prints from a medieval miniaturist.The art critic Stratis Eleftheriades under the nom de plume Triade published the art journal Verve in Paris from 1937 to 1960. He commissioned famous artists of the day from Matisse to Picasso and Chagall to provide works for the journal with numerous lithographs appearing for the first time in his publications. This volume is particularly notable for the unusual medium for Chagall used: ""New washed drawings in India ink which are quite unrelated to anything he had done before. Using black diluted in every possible degree from onyx to the palest shade of gray he produced sheets that give an intensely colorful effectÉ These drawingsÉ were a response to what he saw in his new environment and stemmed from the urge to render in a spontaneous fashion the overwhelming impact of the profusion and light. They also reveal paradoxically the increased importance of color as a medium of expression. In these drawings 'light' does not signify a diminution of the colorfulness but an advance into the zone from which it springs. One might say that the heart of the color is light and from this light Chagall created the colorfulness of his sheets. What this means is visibly demonstrated by the drawings he did at Triade's suggestion for the number of Verve dedicated to Boccaccio's Decameron. What Chagall produced was a present-day counterpart to colored reproductions of the miniatures in a fifteenth-century manuscript of Boccaccio's work. For each of his drawings he drew inspiration from the miniature of the same scene and the old and new illustrations are reproduced side by side in the pages of Verve. In Chagall however everything attains a new meaning. A new logic links the objects of the anecdotic 'tale' and the plot of the love story gives rise to ardent desire and serene joy. What is more in Chagall's large black-and-white plates the light radiates in a far richer modulation of color than the full coloring of the miniaturist's precise magic-lantern pictures"" Meyer 499.

1952Best.-Nr. 17693Paris: Maeght 1952. Other. 357 by 530mm 14 by 20 inches. Original color lithograph by Marc Chagall. Edition of 6000 unsigned and unnumbered from Original Lithograph 1952. Published by Maeght Paris 1952. Sheet: 357 by 530mm 14 by 20 inches. A luminous evocation of Chagall's beloved France from one of the 20th century's greatest colorists. Marc Chagall 7 July 1887 28 March 1985 was one of the most celebrated and beloved artists of the 20th century. Born Marc Zakharovich Shagal in Vitebsk Belarus then part of the Russian Empire he trained in Saint Petersburg before moving to Paris in 1910 where he became part of the vibrant avant-garde of Montparnasse. Drawing on Jewish folk tradition Russian culture and the imagery of his Belarusian childhood Chagall developed a uniquely dreamlike visual language infused with lovers floating above villages fiddlers on rooftops animals angels and mystical biblical scenes. Associated with Fauvism Cubism and Surrealismyet belonging to nonehe was the quintessential 'School of Paris' master. His monumental stained-glass windows ceiling paintings including the Paris Opéra and tapestries brought his vision to public spaces worldwide. Chagall's work is held at MoMA in New York the Tate in London the Centre Pompidou in Paris the Guggenheim and the Musée National Marc Chagall in Niceinaugurated in 1973 and dedicated to his biblical message cycle. He remains one of the most sought-after names in 20th-century prints with original lithographs consistently coveted by collectors worldwide.This original color lithograph was produced during Chagall's most prolific printmaking period printed at the celebrated Mourlot studio in Paris under the supervision of master lithographer Fernand Mourlot. The Mourlot studio was Chagall's primary printmaking partner from 1950 onwards and its impeccable technical standards ensured that each impression faithfully conveyed the luminosity and color of the original stone drawings.This original color lithograph sheet: 357 by 530mm 14 by 20 inches depicts 'Vision of Paris Vision von Paris'. Published in 1952 Edition of 6000 by Maeght Paris this work is a fine example of Chagall's graphic production of the period printed at the celebrated Mourlot studio in Paris under the direct supervision of Fernand Mourlot. Each color was applied from a separate lithographic stone resulting in the luminous layered palette that makes Chagall's prints instantly recognizable. Chagall's images of Paris the Côte d'Azur and the South of France reflect his deep love for his adopted homeland. From the rooftops of Montparnasse to the luminous bays of Nice and Vence these lithographs capture a France bathed in the artist's signature warm light and poetic fantasy. In excellent condition. Colors vivid and unfaded. No tears creases or foxing. Ready to frame. Mourlot 81 Maeght unknown
