Et sur la terre…Paris : Maeght, 1977.
Exemplaire impeccable, comprenant 15 eaux-fortes originales de Marc Chagall. Meyer-Cramer, Chagall, n° 103.
Le cadre de ce court récit - les événements se déroulent en vingt-quatre heures, et tiennent sur moins d'une cinquantaine de pages - est la guerre d'Espagne, en mars 1938.
La préface de Malraux revêt la forme d'une lettre qu'il adresse à Marc Chagall - il y confie d'abord sa suprise que Chagall ait fait le choix d'une illustration "littérale" du récit. Ce choix ainsi que le fait que Chagall privilégie des gravures en noir, associés au cadre du récit, aux thématiques abordées, séduit Malraux, "car penser à l'aquatinte pour l'Espagne, c'est aussi penser à Goya" (p. VI).
In-folio (440 x 330 mm), en feuilles, sous couverture rempliée. Tirage limité à 225 exemplaires sur vélin de Rives, tous signés par Malraux et Chagall, celui-ci le n°165, en outre daté « 30 juin 1976 » par Malraux. 15 eaux-fortes et aquatintes originales en noir de Marc Chagall, dont 2 à double page et 13 à pleine page.
Sous emboîtage d’éditeur.
Pristine copy on Rives wove, comprising 15 original etchings and aquatints by Marc Chagall.
