The prints illustrate a select passage from Rainer Maria Rilke's only novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (1910). This semi-autobiographical novel tells the story of a college student from an aristocratic Danish family living in destitute in Paris in the early 1900s. The book made a profound and lasting impression on SHAHN. Although SHAHN FIRST READ THE NOVEL WHILE VISITING PARIS IN THE 1920S, he didn't create the illustrations until 1968--a year before his death. Free admission, open daily.
