Gilioli - Le Cantique des Cantiques - 1961

Fascinating numberless signature copy, signed by the artist and illustrated with beautiful original lithographs by Gilioli -

The work presents a lyrical dialogue between two lovers whose voices intertwine to celebrate the power of love, the beauty of bodies, desire, fidelity and the incessant quest of the beloved -

The poems evoke the beloved and the beloved through a succession of images drawn from nature, gardens, flowers, fruit trees, mountains, springs, flocks, precious fragrances and landscapes of the ancient Orient, creating an universe where every element becomes the symbol of an emotion or a quality of love -

The descriptions exalt physical grace as well as the inner nobility of the two protagonists, alternately presenting scenes of meeting, waiting, separation, nocturnal quest, reunions and mutual contemplation -
