    CHAGALL Marc. For the cloude of the Lorde was upon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel thorowout all their journeys – The Story of Exodus
    Amiel Léon, Paris, New-York 1966, 36 x 49.5 cm, one single leaf
    Original color lithograph, one of 15 proofs on Japon impérial paper reserved for the artist and his collaborators, the only printing with 20 more on Japon and 250 on Arches paper. Unsigned proof, as all proofs in this series, other than the frontispiece.
    A superb proof on Japon paper specially made for The Story of Exodus, published in 1966, for which Chagall made 24 hors-text lithographs printed by Mourlot.
    An exceedingly rare original proof on Japon paper, the most attractive and best for color lithographs.


    Fernand Mourlot was undoubtedly the finest lithographic printer of the 20th century and was thus the friend and printer to the leading artists of his day. “Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Miró, Braque, Dubuffet, Léger, Giacometti…added to their own expression and contemporary art a new field of research. With Mourlot, and thanks to him, lithography acquired both a personality and a future” (Pierre Cabanne, in Cinquante années de lithographie).
    Having already printed two volumes of the Bible illustrated by Chagall, Mourlot contributed to the artist's lithographic training in the 1950s. It was during this period that Chagall began to visit Mourlot's workshop regularly in order to learn lithographic techniques and that he developed bonds of friendship with the staff of the workshop, most notably Charles Sorlier.
    It was thus at the peak of his powers that Chagall made this story of Exodus, which coincided with the termination of his immense lithographic and pictoral work on the Bible, undertaken in 1930 at the urging of Ambroise Vollard. This decorative cycle, entitled Le Message Biblique [The Biblical Message] was in fact the basis for the creation of the Chagall Museum, originally called the Musée national du message biblique Marc-Chagall.

    Les portraits dessinés de J.-A.-D. Ingres
    [Ingres's portraits]
    Chez J.-E. Bulloz|à Paris 1903|37 x 48 cm|en feuilles sous chemise
    Les Portraits dessinés de J.-A.-D. Ingres [Ingres's portraits]


    Chez J.-E. Bulloz | à Paris 1903 | 37 x 48 cm | loose leaves with custom slipcase
    The very rare first edition, consisting of only 100 numbered copies, the text on Arches paper with 100 charcoal portraits laid down on thick grey-blue paper, margins slightly soiled, gilt listel frame to each portrait, Bulloz stamp to lower right.
    This copy has a half red morocco chemise with flaps, spine soiled, double gilt fillet to covers, title giltstamped on upper cover, cloth and paper flaps heavily damaged (lower flap lacking), headpieces rubbed with lacks to head and foot of joints, corners rubbed, ties lacking.
    Portraits of political and intellectual figures from the 19th century. The majority of the illustrations are signed and dated in the plate.
    These reproductions were mostly done after works in private collections. A noted specialist on Ingres, Henry Lapauze (1867-1925) notes in his introduction, «Thus these fantastic portraits, most of which are jealously guarded as family heirlooms or are the pride of private collections, become a national treasure that all may look upon.» Lapauze's main goal was to allow a broader public to become better acquainted with Ingres' work at a time when culture was elevated into the ranks of the French national heritage by the Third Republic.
    It was thus that Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' (1780-1867) work once more awoke the interest of art historians and the general public at the turn of the 20th century. These one hundred portraits make up a visual gallery of Ingres' circle. Lapauze thinks it is of little importance whether or not readers are familiar with the people portrayed, since the painter's genius is enough to get across the «master's glorious talent» and to ensure «the delight of people of good taste». Ingres is thus elevated into a genius of 19th century
    French painting.
    A very rare copy of the first edition of one hundred portrait drawings by Ingres.
