This beautiful work evokes a sense of peacefulness and tranquility through the delightful pairing of a blue bird and a lovely woman. Apparent in this work is Chagall's belief in the harmonious interaction of man and nature. The bluebird, often symbolic of happiness and fulfillment, coexists peacefully with mankind, represented by the woman to the right and the restful city below. |

| Descripción Histórica: | |
Executed for the seventh biennial exhibition of paintings of Menton, this work is full of dark tones and deeply saturated hues. Utilizing the surrealistic quality found throughout his work, Chagall creates a scene of mystery and intrigue. Created in 1968, this original color lithograph is printed on Arches vellum by Mourlot, Paris. This work is hand-signed by Marc Chagall (Vitebsk, 1887 - Saint-Paul, 1985) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered 153/200 (from the edition of 200) in pencil in the lower left margin. Executed by Charles Sorlier under the direction of Chagall, this work was published by Maeght Editeur for the Biennial Editions of Menton. Sorlier's name appears in the plate on the lower right of the image, and Chagall's name and date of the original work appear in the lower left. This work is adapted from a 1954 gouache. The large blue bird in the upper left captures the viewer's attention with its bright yellow beak and large gazing eye. Hovering just above a large moon sitting low in the night sky, this scene evokes a sense of peacefulness and tranquility. In the right of the frame, a woman's profile watches over the city below, as her hair blends seamlessly into a muted green bush. Chagall has included multiple outlines on each element in his composition, creating a soft-edged feel through a series of hard edges. The artist's belief in the harmonious interaction of man and nature is apparent in this work, treating the bird as an equal, if not more important, part of the scene.

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."
