Omslag voor 42 proefdrukken en vroege staten van illustraties voor Ovidius' Art d'Aimer en Longus' Daphnis et Chloë 1935 - 1937

This 1935-1937 cover designed by Aristide Maillol for a collection of prints of Ovid's "Art of Love" and Longus' "Daphnis and Chloe" is a simple yet elegant example of the artist's style. The plain off-white canvas, bound with fabric ties, speaks to Maillol's focus on form and simplicity, a hallmark of his artistic approach. The minimalist design of the cover allows the viewer to focus on the contents within, making it a perfect vessel for the art that lies inside. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Maillol's versatility and influence on the art world.
