Marc Chagall: 20th Century Modern Master
|
Marc Chagall was a Russian-French artist who excelled in many mediums such as painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries, and fine art graphic works.
Marc Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity". Chagall has produced stained glass windows for cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the United Nations, as well as the Jerusalem Windows in Israel.
Chagall synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism (which led to the rise of Surrealism) but it is his use of color that makes Chagall's work so special. Pablo Picasso had said in the 1950's, "When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is."

This piece is an original color lithograph by Marc Chagall, done in 1980. It was created as one of fourteen lithographs from the collection "The Fourteen Large Lithographs of 1980", which was a series inspired by his editor's, Aime Maeght, request to realize a few large scale lithographs. Chagall became so absorbed in the project that he went above and beyond Maeght's request and completed 14 plates in the largest sheet size that could possibly fit on the presses. When they were completed, Aime Maeght presented them in an exhibited and took Chagall, who was very ill at the time, to see them on his walls. The lithographs in this collection were the last works edited by Marc Chagall.
This piece is hand signed and numbered from the edition of 50 on Arches wove paper. The image measures 38 x 24 inches and the sheet measures 47 x 31 inches. This piece is referenced as number 976 in "Chagall Lithographie, Vol. VI" by Mourlot and Charles Sorlier.
