This woodcut, "Second Book: Methymnaean Carrying Chloe Away", is a depiction of the Greek myth of Chloe and the Methymnaean. The artist, Aristide Maillol, is known for his simplified figures and focus on the human form. This print, likely created in 1937, utilizes the bold lines and simplicity that characterized Maillol's approach, capturing the dramatic moment of Chloe's abduction with dramatic flair. It is a powerful image highlighting the dynamic relationship between the two figures, reflecting Maillol's fascination with the human form and its expression.
