About the Artwork:

"Homer: Die Odyssee" (The Odyssey) represents a monumental masterpiece of structural energy and narrative dravosť, master-crafted in a prestigious two-volume deluxe edition by Daco-Verlag Günter Bläse in Stuttgart (1989) . Officially authorized by the artist’s widow, Valentina (Vava) Chagall, this rare graphic suite spans across two luxurious hardcover volumes bound in premium natural linen. The comprehensive set contains a staggering archive of 43 brilliant full-page color grano-lithographs and 39 master-crafted monochrome lithographic plates. Every single page is a deliberate action, transforming Homer’s foundational maritime myths into a sanctuary for the eyes that commands the absolute center of any elite international private library.

The Narrative Vision (The Mythological Metamorphosis):

Marc Chagall, the undisputed master of the "living dream," was deeply mystified by classical antiquities, viewing Odysseus's epic seafaring trials as a timeless mirror of human endurance and spiritual longing. Paired with the legendary German academic translation by the celebrated scholar Wolfgang Schadewaldt, Volume I and Volume II stage an intense optical vibration . From the intimate studio scenes of the artist at his palette in Volume I to the sprawling, sun-drenched beaches of Phaeacia inhabited by majestic white horses, modern classical nudes, and floating deities in Volume II, Chagall deconstructs Homeric poetry into a sublime visual serenade of pure emotion . The pristine gold foil typography on the tactile linen bindings creates an aesthetic of absolute high-society luxury and historical weight, preserving a monumental fragment of 20th-century European publishing excellence.
