The myth of Sisyphus
My last post about Max Klinger reminded me that I have some very exciting lithographs by Andr� Masson on the same theme of the myth of Sisyphus. They were made in 1962 for an edition of Le mythe de Sisyphe by Albert Camus. The lithographs were printed on pearly Japon nacr� paper by Mourlot, in an edition of 200 copies.

The 200 suites also had an additional print (the first illustrated in this post), not included in the books, and hand-signed by Andr� Masson. Mine is justified 46/200.
