This is a reproduction of Marcel Duchamp's iconic cover for Cahiers d'Art Revue n° 1-2 from 1936, the publication's 11th year. The collage of paper hearts in vibrant blue and red was created by Duchamp at the request of Gabrielle Buffet, especially for the magazine.
The title references Gabrielle's article in the same issue of the Revue and the optical illusion known in French as cœurs volants. The contrasting saturated colors of blue and red produce a striking optical effect, making the hearts appear to move or ‘fly’ towards the viewer. In English, the title translates to Fluttering Hearts or Flying Hearts.
This silkscreen print, produced on Old Mill paper, is created in close collaboration with l'Association Marcel Duchamp, ensuring the ink colors closely match the original.
The print is 67 x 47 cm / 26.38 x 18.5 inches and is limited to an edition of 200.
