As the Season of Lent continues into April, I have two sets of images of the Passion of Christ to present this month from two editions, printed 30 years apart, of French Writer Paul Claudel's 1911 poem cycle, La Chemin de la Croix. The first set of fourteen woodcuts of the Stations of the Cross (far left) was carved with a penknife by Jean Hippolyte Marchand, a French Cubist painter and illustrator with connections to London's Bloomsbury Group. They illustrated a 1918 mass market printing of the Claudel poems by La Librairie de L' Art Catholique in Paris. Another cycle of prints of the Stations of the Cross was created thirty years later by Andre Collot, a graphic artist best known for his erotica, for a limited edition of the Claudel poems from the Jacquemart publishing house in Paris. The Collot etchings now on display with the Marchand woodcuts in The Stations of the Cross gallery of the Themes of Faith section come from a second state suite of the original prints, which the artist embellished with intriguing marginalia of faces from the crowds, Madonnas with children, and even guillotines and gallows!
