Descripción Histórica:
Created for a short novel titled Maternité written by Marc Chagall's dear friend, Marcel Arland, this particular work became part of a series of 5 original engravings meant to compliment the text from which it was inspired. According to Sorlier, "these plates…should be seen more as a complement to the text than as an illustration" (12) . Printed on June 10, 1926, by publisher Au Sans Pareil this piece is from an edition of 140 copies printed by Louis Fort, Paris on Van Gelder Zonen laid paper. What stands out the most in this composition is Chagall's astounding ability to manipulate this medium in order to pay careful attention to the acute detail seen in various elements of the scene. The floral motifs along the edges of the blanket, the small rivets in the seat of the chair, even subtle detailing on the pillow should be attributed to Chagall's style and artistry. The couple seen here is characterized by dramatic shadow and detail in their expressions and facial features along with an intense silhouette outline along the surface of the bed.

About the Framing: This work is set in an ornate Baroque-inspired gold frame with delicately carved floral accents. The gold accentuates the curved lines and mimics action and movement, echoing Chagall's artistic hand in these works. The sculpted quality of the moulding also serves to enhance the textural elements and bring out subtle shading and lighting detail. Completed with white, linen-wrapped mats and a matching gold inner fillet, this work is set behind a Plexiglas cover. All framing materials used are archival to ensure lasting quality.

Marc Chagall biografía

Marc Chagall (1887 - 1985)

Marc Chagall was born July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Russia. From 1907 to 1910, he studied in Saint Petersburg, at the Imperial Society for the Protection of the Arts and later with Léon Bakst. In 1910, he moved to Paris, where he associated with Guillaume Apollinaire and Robert Delaunay and encountered Fauvism and Cubism. He participated in the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne in 1912. His first solo show was held in 1914 at Der Sturm gallery in Berlin.

Chagall visited Russia in 1914, and was prevented from returning to Paris by the outbreak of war. He settled in Vitebsk, where he was appointed Commissar for Art in 1918. He founded the Vitebsk Popular Art School and directed it until disagreements with the Suprematists resulted in his resignation in 1920. He moved to Moscow and executed his first stage designs for the State Jewish Chamber Theater there. After a sojourn in Berlin, Chagall returned to Paris in 1923 and met Ambroise Vollard. His first retrospective took place in 1924 at the Galerie Barbazanges-Hodebert, Paris. During the 1930s, he traveled to Palestine, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, and Italy. In 1933, the Kunsthalle Basel held a major retrospective of his work.

During World War II, Chagall fled to the United States. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave him a retrospective in 1946. He settled permanently in France in 1948 and exhibited in Paris, Amsterdam, and London. During 1951, he visited Israel and executed his first sculptures. The following year, the artist traveled in Greece and Italy. During the 1960s, Chagall continued to travel widely, often in association with large-scale commissions he received. Among these were windows for the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, installed in 1962; a ceiling for the Paris Opéra, installed in 1964; a window for the United Nations building, New York, installed in 1964; murals for the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, installed in 1967; and windows for the cathedral in Metz, France, installed in 1968. An exhibition of the artist's work from 1967 to 1977 was held at the Musée du Louvre, Paris, in 1977-78, and a major retrospective was held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1985. During his lifetime he also created popular lithographs, such as Maternity. Chagall died March 28, 1985, in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France.

"When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is." Picasso claimed he was not a fan of the "flying violins and all the folklore, but his canvases are really painted, not just thrown together." He followed up by saying, "There's never been anybody since Renoir who has the feeling for light that Chagall has."

The Haggerty Museum describes The Bible Chagall prints as showing "Chagall's fluid forms, dreamlike sense of space and unique style. In his choice of subject matter, Chagall reveals his reading of the Old Testament in its moments of triumph, sorrow, and prophecy."
