Marc Chagall: Lithographs for the Bible (1960), page 2
|
|
|
|
After the success of their 1956 collaboration on a portfolio of color lithographs to commemorate the publication of Chagall's long delayed set of etchings for the Bible, Antoine Teriade and Chagall agreed to devote another issue of Verve to another set of illustrations illuminating Chagall's Bible. Meyer Shapiro has called Chagall one of the greatest religious artists of all time, and these lithographs show why: powerful drawing, intense colors, and, most of all, compassion for the characters.

Hagar and Ishmael in the Desert (M. 241). Original color lithograph, 1960. 50 signed and numbered impressions plus 6500 unsigned impressions for Verve (of which ours is one). Sarah thrust Abraham on Hagar when she believed that she was unable to give him an heir; as soon as Sarah gave birth to Isaac, she demanded that Abraham put Hagar away. Hagar and Ishmael were dying in the desert when the Lord sent an angel to rescue them. Herman Melville's Moby Dick begins with the command, "Call me Ishmael," suggesting perhaps that we are lost in our own deserts until rescued by the angel of the Lord. Image size: 356x253mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.
