Life Becomes Precious, Discreet,
EDITORS COMMENTS
plate eleven from Maurice Denis's series "Love," published in 1899, is a captivating lithograph that showcases the artist's mastery of post-impressionist techniques and the Nabis artistic movement. This exquisite work of art, created by Denis in 1898, is a testament to the beauty and allure of a young woman as she walks through a tranquil garden, lost in thought. The lithograph, published by Henri Louis Ambroise Vollard, is a stunning example of the blue and grey color palette that was popular during the late 19th century. The image is rendered in lithotint, a technique that allows for a range of tonal values, resulting in a soft, ethereal quality. The woman, dressed in a pastel-colored dress, is depicted with delicate discretion, her face turned away from the viewer, adding to the sense of mystery and introspection. The setting of the garden, with its vibrant greenery and subtle hints of yellow, further emphasizes the theme of life's preciousness. The building in the background, with its intricate details and classical architecture, adds a sense of heritage and timelessness to the scene. Denis's "Life Becomes Precious, Discreet," is a beautiful and evocative work of art that invites the viewer to contemplate the complexities of love, life, and the passage of time. This lithograph is a must-see for any art enthusiast, and can be found in the collections of renowned institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago and other prestigious galleries and museums around the world.
