This vibrant and dreamlike lithograph by Marc Chagall is drawn from his celebrated L’Odyssée suite, published in 1974 as a visual homage to Homer’s The Odyssey. Chagall reimagines the epic through his own whimsical lens, blending ancient mythology with his unmistakable surrealism and radiant palette.
Rendered in soft, layered tones with floating figures and mythic symbolism, this work captures Chagall’s poetic interpretation of classical literature. The sunlit background and dancing foreground figures reflect themes of longing, divine play, and the human journey—core elements of both The Odyssey and Chagall’s artistic language.
This edition comes from the deluxe portfolio printed on Arches wove paper, published by Mourlot, Paris, under the direction of Fernand Mourlot, and accompanied by texts from Jacques Lassaigne.
