Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was one of the most poetic and visionary artists of the twentieth century, whose dreamlike imagery and radiant color transformed the language of modern art. Closely associated with the École de Paris, he developed a deeply personal visual universe—where lovers float weightlessly, musicians hover above villages, and biblical figures emerge from memory and imagination.

Throughout his career, Chagall returned to themes of love, spirituality, folklore, and exile, weaving them into compositions rich in symbolism and emotional resonance. His art moves effortlessly between the intimate and the universal, blending fantasy with profound human experience.

A master printmaker, Chagall found in lithography and etching an ideal medium to express the fluidity of his line and the luminosity of his palette. In collaboration with renowned ateliers such as Mourlot in Paris, he produced celebrated graphic cycles including Illustrations for the Bible, Daphnis et Chloé, and works created for the prestigious art review Verve. His prints are cherished for their technical finesse, vibrant color harmonies, and unmistakable lyricism—securing his place among the most beloved and collected artists of modern art.
