Marc Chagall

The exhibition presents a selection of original lithographs from several important series by Marc Chagall, including Daphnis and Chloe and The Bible, created between 1957 and 1961.

This period marks a significant phase in Chagall’s late career, during which he focused extensively on graphic work and large-scale illustrated projects. Working closely with leading publishers and printers in France, particularly Tériade and Atelier Mourlot in Paris, Chagall explored the expressive possibilities of lithography through complex, multi-color processes.

The series produced during these years draw on literary, biblical, and mythological sources, reflecting Chagall’s enduring engagement with themes of spirituality, love, memory, and the human condition. Rather than functioning as literal illustrations, the lithographs stand as autonomous works, characterized by luminous color, fluid line, and a poetic, dreamlike atmosphere.

The works exhibited are original lithographs from their respective editions and exemplify the artistic maturity and visual richness of Chagall’s graphic oeuvre in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The artworks are available for sale
