Abstract
This is a beautiful catalogue. After a page of commentary on this unusual set of art works, there are thirty-six colored reproductions of individual works among the hundred that Chagall did for the project. The hundred are listed in fact by French title on the last page. It is my understanding that the set was up for sale one by one by the Libreria Pregliasco in conjunction with the Galleria Accademia in Turin--for 1,450,000 Lire each. My favorites as I look at these beautiful illustrations this time through include The Eagle and the Beetle (17), SS (19), CW (25), FG (35), The Shepherd and the Sea (41), MM (75), The Cobbler and the Financier (79), and The Shepherd with His Animals (including a squealing pig, 92). This is one of those surprise finds as I combed through seemingly endless lists of Alibris books available.
