Untitled
Edition of 225. Delicate and intimate, Chagall’s etchings for this suite were made in 1976 when he was 89 years old at the very end of his life. They were published in an edition of 225 only, one of the artist’s last and most personal works.
Published by Maeght, Chagall illustrated the words of the French poet Louis Aragon for this suite of 25 etchings with aquatint. Aragon was one of the founding members of the Surrealist movement which swept through the art world in the early 1920s.
Aragon’s poetry was strange and diverse, often swaying between the lyrical and the overtly political. The title of Chagall’s series – ‘Those who speak without saying anything’ – highlights the satirical bent to Aragon’s poetry, but also the key surrealist concept of unconscious action: ‘speaking’ without ‘saying’. etching with aquatint.
