EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite binding of "The Song of Solomon" by Jean Dunand, a renowned lacquer artist from the early 20th century. Bound by George Crette in 1925, this leather and lacquer masterpiece is a true testament to the artistry of its time. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the central circular plaque on the front cover. Created by Dunand himself after F. L. Schmied's design, it features a striking depiction of a female head that exudes both elegance and mystery. The use of gilt ruling adds an opulent touch to this already mesmerizing artwork. The white morocco doublures with their large Star of David design in gilt, along with red and black morocco inlays, further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. It is clear that every detail has been meticulously crafted to create a harmonious and visually stunning piece. This modernist interpretation of "The Song of Solomon" not only pays homage to biblical literature but also embraces elements of art deco style prevalent during that era. The stylized profile captures the essence of love portrayed within these sacred verses. Measuring at 24.5x17 cm, this remarkable binding is now part of a private collection where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and artistic ingenuity.
