Marc Chagall's livre d'artiste depicts in vivid colours the trials of Odysseus in the aftermath of the Trojan War.⠀
⠀
A modernist take on a classical tale, Chagall's rendering of the Ancient Greek world draws on his own trips to the Mediterranean, where he was inspired by the region's magnificent landscape and culture. The vastness of Homer's epic poem demanded extensive illustrations, which led Fernand Mourlot to publish L'Odyssée in two volumes.⠀
⠀
These two volumes are printed on Arches wove paper, signed by the artist, with 82 lithographs, of which 43 are printed in colour.⠀
⠀
Marc Chagall (1887-1985), 'L'Odyssée. Paris: Fernand Mourlot, 1974'. Estimate: £40,000 – £60,000.⠀⠀⠀
