Henry Moore created the lithographs for Prométhée at the height of his fame, as he began to take on more large-scale public works. Many of his illustrations feature a Dalí-esque stark landscape populated by abstracted epic figures, complimenting Goethe's retelling of the Greek creation myth — a fitting story to be executed by a sculptor.
