EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Cover for Love," was created by Maurice Denis in 1898 and published in 1899. The artwork is a stunning example of the Post-Impressionist movement, specifically from the Nabis artistic group, and was published by Henri Louis Ambroise Vollard. Denis masterfully employs a muted color palette of blue, grey, and off-white, with intricate details in green, blue, and grey on wove paper. The image features a female figure in a back or rear view, standing naked with her head turned to the side, gazing off into the distance. She is adorned with a flowing, diaphanous robe, revealing her nude form. The figure is surrounded by a variety of birds, including doves, which symbolize love and peace. The lower case text in Western script at the bottom of the print reads "Love" in French, adding to the overall theme of the artwork. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and introspection, with the figure's posture and the peaceful birds creating a serene atmosphere. The use of lithography and lithotint techniques adds depth and texture to the print, making it a true masterpiece of the 19th century. This artwork is a must-see for any art enthusiast, and can be found in the prestigious collections of various art centers, galleries, and institutes, including the Art Institute of Chicago. The Cover for Love is a testament to Maurice Denis's artistic vision and the enduring legacy of the Nabis movement.
