Chagall, Marc. Angel in Paradise, from Verve 33-34, 1956. Editions de la Revue Verve, 1956.
Price: US$320.00 + shipping
Condition: As New
Description: Uncommon in the trade, not currently available otherwise. Virtually pristine exemplar of Angel of Paradise, published by Verve, Paris, Volume 33-34, devoted wholly to Marc Chagall, printed by the master, Fernand Mourlot, Paris and Geneva, from Mourlot Freres, Paris, for Verve. This is an original color lithograph, unnumbered but one of 6,500 copies. In 1956, the art critic and publisher E. Teriade brought out a special issue of the legendary art magazine Revue Verve, which was exclusively devoted to one of Marc Chagalls major themes--The Bible--that comprised 18 full-page lithographs in full color, and another 12 in black and white. Beautifully executed on the full sheet as published, measuring 13 1/2" x 10" in height and width, respectively. This original lithograph is one of four angel motifs that Marc Chagall drew for his famous first "Verve Bible". With its shining yellow, tender mauve, and deep violet, this is one of Chagall?s most subtle lithographs, the male angel is drawn in golden yellow and seems to amuse himself "paradisiacally" between two violet-colored female figures. The shining angel in the middle is surrounded by a violet color circle and the inquiring women?s gazes from the left and right. The double lines that Chagall drew are also quite peculiar, suggesting by contrast a sense of dynamism and movement. The Russian Jew Marc Chagall?s dreamlike compositions featured Eastern European folklore, flying figures, elements of Jewish tradition, biblical themes, peasant life, and animals are frequent motifs. Chagall practiced in painting, printmaking, books, ceramics, and stained glass, embracing and developing Cubism, Fauvism, and Symbolism, Surrealism and Modernism. He lived in and between Russia, France, and the United States and exhibited there widely. His stained-glass windows for Hadassah University Medical Center?s Abbell Synagogue in Jerusalem and elsewhere are magnificent.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

The Artist & the Book 53; Strahan, "The Artist and the Book in France," pp. 160, 164, 327. âA VERY FINE COPY with only the most trivial imperfections (occasional faint offsetting from etchings, one double page color lithograph with meticulously repaired insignificant tears), ENTIRELY BRIGHT, FRESH, AND CLEAN INTERNALLY, AND IN SPARKLING AS-NEW BINDINGS. In a magnificent binding by an eminent female designer and accompanied by additional volumes containing a profusion of Chagall's biblical images, this is a spectacular copy of one of the great illustrated works of the past century. Between the very striking oversized bindings and the proliferation of inimitable images in the Bible and its accompanying volumes, the set makes a captivating, almost overpowering effect. The story of the Chagall Bible begins in 1931, when the artist was approached by Ambroise Vollard about undertaking a commission to illustrate Holy Scripture. Chagall accepted, and departed for Palestine, impelled to see the Holy Land before he tried to depict scenes that held such meaning for him as a Russian Jew. According to W. J. Strahan, the etchings he produced should be praised for "the bold way he treads on the delicate ground of Holy Scripture, avoiding the sentimental and yet preserving the Hebrew imagery. . . . Fundamentally it is the artist's deep understanding, as a Jew, of his tribal history, allied to his aesthetic skill, that has produced this masterpiece." In addition to his life-changing trip to the Holy Land, Chagall also steeped himself in the art of engraving, studying, in particular, the work of Rembrandt. The resulting series of 105 biblical engravings is considered one of Chagall's most important works, and it ranks among the best examples of etching produced in the 20th century. Besides demonstrating Chagall's technical mastery of the art of engraving, his illustrations here speak to us on emotional and spiritual levels. As the great art historian Meyer Shapiro eloquently explains, "Almost every image reveals to us an aspect of its sensitivity: veneration, sadness, joy, translated by the melody of the forms and the range of shades specific to each composition." He also notes that "If we had nothing of Chagall but his Bible, we would consider him one of the great modern artists." After the publication of Chagall's Bible in 1956, Tériade (who took over the project after Vollard's death in 1939), issued reproductions of the 105 etchings for a special double edition of VERVE magazine (nos. 33/34), which also included 30 new lithographic illustrations, including wrapper and title (18 in color and 12 in black & white), which the artist composed especially for this supplementary work. In 1960, Tériade published another issue of VERVE (nos. 37/38), containing biblical images Chagall had executed between 1958-59; these included 96 black & white reproductions of Chagall etchings and 48 additional lithographs, including the wrapper (25 in color, 23 in black & white). The color lithographs provide a wonderful foil to the black & white etchings, and reveal the full powers of a visionary artist who was considered to be one of the most versatile and influential creators of the 20th century. The original Chagall Bible was issued unbound, and many copies remain in that condition--a fact that makes our splendidly bound copy even more desirable. Renée Haas was born in Paris in 1920, and studied classics at the Sorbonne and at Columbia University in New York. She returned to France after World War II, first studying painting and then engraving before taking a binding course from Marguerite Fray. This, she decided, was her métier--but only the design aspect. As Flety notes, she employed very fine professionals, including René Desmules, Jean-Paul Miguet, and Renaud Vernier, to execute her bindings. We get a glimpse of her process in the gouache maquettes bound in here, two showing the different color schemes for each volume, and the binder's pattern sheet for cutting the onlays, with annotations in pencil and pen. Alexandre Loewy, the great publisher and bookseller of artists' books, was an early supporter of Haas, exhibiting her designs at his bookstore in 1957 and helping her to find commissions. Thanks to this introduction, she came to design bindings for some of the greatest artists' books of the 20th century, including three for copies of Matisse's "Jazz" (one of which sold at auction for $140,0
