This rare, hand-signed lithograph was printed for the opening of Georges Bizet's Carmen, the first performance at the Metropolitan Opera House at New York's Lincoln Center. The image is a detail taken from Marc Chagall's preliminary rendering of his famed mural The Triumph of Music, which is still on display in the opera house. This is the first version of this lithograph to have text. This impression comes from the signed and numbered edition of 150. (Separately, there was also an edition of 200 without text and an unsigned, unnumbered poster edition of 3,000 on different paper), A second version was published the same year, without the text and with the addition of a bird in the lower left corner and a woman and child in the upper right corner. There was also a slightly larger signed edition of 200 -- but this edition of only 150 is considered the most desirable.

Marc Chagall
Described by art critic Robert Hughes as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century," the Russian-French modernist Marc Chagall worked in nearly every artistic medium. Influenced by Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism and Surrealism, he developed his own distinctive style, combining avant-garde techniques and motifs with elements drawn from Eastern European Jewish folk art.
Born Moishe Segal in 1887, in Belarus (then part of the Russian empire), Chagall is often celebrated for his figurative paintings, but he also produced stained-glass windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, in France; for the United Nations, in New York; and for the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, as well as book illustrations, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine-art prints. Characterized by a bold color palette and whimsical imagery, his works are often narrative, depicting small-village scenes and quotidian moments of peasant life, as in his late painting The Flight into Egypt from 1980.
Before World War I, Chagall traveled between St. Petersburg, Paris and Berlin. When the conflict broke out, he returned to Soviet-occupied Belarus, where he founded the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1922. He fled to the United States during World War II but in 1947 returned to France, where he spent the rest of his life. His peripatetic career left its mark on his style, which was distinctly international, incorporating elements from each of the cultures he experienced.
Marc Chagall remains one of the past century’s most respected talents — find his art on 1stDibs.
