MARC CHAGALL (1897-1985) was a Russian-French artist. An early modernist, he was associated with the École de Paris as well as several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. Chagall was born into a Jewish family near Vitebsk, today in Belarus, but at that time in the Pale of Settlement of the Russian Empire. Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During that period, he created his own mixture and style of modern art, based on his ideas of Eastern European and Jewish folklore. He spent the wartime years in his native Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College. He later worked in and near Moscow in difficult conditions during hard times in Russia following the Bolshevik Revolution, before leaving again for Paris in 1923. During World War II, he escaped occupied France to the United States, where he lived in New York City for seven years before returning to France in 1948. Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century". According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz as well as the Fraumünster in Zürich, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk." "When Matisse dies", Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is.” For his choice of themes, Chagall has concentrated on the great Old Testament figures: the patriarchs Noah, Isaac, Moses, Jacob, and Joseph; Joshua, who led the Jews into Canaan; Samson, David, and Solomon; the prophets Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel then follow. His choices, emphasizing as they do their singularly personal elements, fall into three significant categories: the great ancestors who founded the Jewish community; the achievement of nationhood with Joshua, Samson, David, and Solomon; and the prophets with their vision of God and the prophecies of the misfortunes and consolations of Israel. Yet in Chagall's Bible numerous scenes are included of the erotic, the joyous, the familial, the miraculous, and the fantastic. In his brilliant Introduction, the distinguished art historian and critic Meyer Schapiro writes: "Although these etchings are marvels of patient, scrupulous craftsmanship, there is not assertion here of skill or technical research, but an immersion in a subject which the artist convinces us often equals or transcends in value the work of art.... In almost every image we experience the precise note of his emotion, his awe or sadness or joy, which is voiced in the melody of shapes and the tonal scale peculiar to each conception. "If we had nothing of Chagall but his Bible, he would be for us a great modern artist." As in the recent companion volumes - Picasso and the Human Comedy and The Intimate Sketchbooks of Georges Braque - this book displays reproductions magnificent by any criterion. Produced in Paris under the direction of Tériade of Verve by the master printer Draeger trères, it contains / gravure plates. Chagall has composed especially for this limited edition 16 color lithographs, printed in twelve to eighteen impressions.
