Festschrift für Christa Lichtenstern zum 60. Geburtstag (offprint)
Author/Editor: MITCHINSON David
Publisher: Gebr. Mann Verlag
Place Published: Berlin
Year: 2004
Date & Collation: pp3043-317.Illus.References.Photo credits.
Description: Offprint booklet of Mitchinson's chapter in the book Mythen - Symbole - Metamorphosen in der Kunst seit 1800. Mitchinson's notes on Moore's Prométhée Lithographs inspired the research of Christa Lichtenstern. In 1949 Moore met French typographer and publisher Henri Jonquières, who suggested making an illustrated book from Gide's translation of Goethe's Prometheus, in the French "livres d'artiste" tradition. Moore worked with Walter Strachan, a friend with knowledge and passion for French art and literature. Moore started printmaking in 1930s. His interest in the use of colour and potential to reach a larger audience led to his experimentation with lithography. For Prométhée Moore produced eight full page lithographs, a design for front cover and title page plus two capital letters to introduce the text. Discussion of Moore's themes: draped elements; forms within forms; presenting sculptural figures receding into imaginary landscapes; use of rich colouring in atmospheric backgrounds; transition from terracotta to plaster as a medium for modelling in the late 1940s early 1950s.; 304-306 reference to: Moore illustrating literary subjects; Moore's start to printmaking and graphics; notebook with preliminary sketches for The Rescue, a melodrama by Edward Sackville-West, 1944; Prométhée Sketchbook 1949-50 (HMF 2547-2569). Illus of Upright Internal/External Form 1953-54 elm wood, (LH 297) and Tête de Prométhée 1950 lithograph (CGM 22). 307 illus of Les statues emprisonnées 1950 (CGM 23); Minerve-Prométhée-Pandore 1950 (CGM 24:4); Mort de Mira 1950 (CGM 30); Pandore et les statues emprisonnées 1950 (CGM 31). 306-309 makes connections between Moore's drawings and lithographs and traces the eight full-page lithographs to early ideas in the sketchbooks, with annotations from the text. Illus of Death of Mira 1949-50 (HMF 2564); Ideas for Internal/External Forms c.1948 (HMF 2408); Pandora and the Imprisoned Statues 1947-49 (HMF 2586). 310-311 makes connections between Moore's lithographs and sculptures.
