About the Item

Created in 1954, this color lithograph is After Marc Chagall (Vitebsk, 1887- Saint-Paul, 1985). Printed on Arches wove paper by Charles Sorlier under the direction of Chagall. This work is numbered 97 from the edition of 300 and there were artist proofs; published by Editions Galerie Maeght, Paris and printed by Charles Sorlier under the direction of Marc Chagall. The color, composition and execution of Marc Chagall Maternité (Maternity), 1954 brings joy, peace, and nostalgia to the viewer.  Bright warm colors in yellows, oranges, pinks, and purples with delicate painterly technique characterize this intimate loving scene between mother and young child.  A deeply personal and soulful work, Chagall captures a cherished moment between a mother and child, as the inquisitive toddler wiggles in his mother’s arms. The mother patiently and observantly looks downward at her child. Similar to traditional nativity scenes, Chagall has made the scene take place outdoors and with animals present. Mother and child sit adjacent to an uncommonly pink house and whimsical purple and green tree. A resting donkey and dove look on at the loving pair as an unknown male figure sits near the house entrance. Chagall’s intentional color play is characteristic of his interest in expressing emotion and feeling through the color medium.
