Second Book: Syrinx Disappears in a Grove of Reeds (Syringe, poursuivie par Pan, se jette dans un marais et disparait dans les roseaux) Possibly 1937

"Second Book: Syrinx Disappears in a Grove of Reeds (Syringe, poursuivie par Pan, se jette dans un marais et disparait dans les roseaux)" is a wood engraving by Aristide Maillol, likely created in 1937. The artwork depicts the myth of Syrinx, a nymph who transforms into reeds to escape the advances of Pan. Maillol's simplified, almost geometric lines capture Syrinx’s fleeting form as she disappears into the reeds. The composition emphasizes the figure of Syrinx, rendered in bold, simple lines, against the background of reeds and water. The engraving is a testament to Maillol's signature style, renowned for its focus on the human form and simplified natural elements.
