Chagall, Contes de Boccace, Verve: Revue Artistique et Littéraire (after)

1950

About the Item

Lithograph on vélin du Marais paper. Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered, as issued. Good condition. Notes: From the volume, Verve: Revue Artistique et Littéraire, Vol. VI, N° 24, 1950. Published by Éditions de la revue Verve, Paris, under the direction of Tériade, éditeur, Paris; printed by Draeger Frères, Paris, April 20, 1950. Excerpted from the volume (translated from French), This issue of Verve contains the washes that Marc Chagall composed to illustrate Tales of the Decameron of Boccaccio and paintings on the same theme of the Manuscript of the Dukes of Burgundy kept in the Arsenal Library. Marc Chagall executed the cover of this work which was completed and printed on April 20, 1950 on the presses of the Maîtres-Imprimeurs, Draeger Frerés. MARC CHAGALL (1897-1985) Russian-Jewish painter is recognized as one of the most significant painters and graphic artists of his time. Chagall painted in a style all his own, combining elements of Expressionism, Symbolism, Cubism and, to a lesser degree, other Modernist art movements. His works combine recollection with folklore and fantasy. A prolific and multi-faceted artist, Chagall left behind him thousands of works in many different techniques and media that have established him as one of the foremost artists of the 20th Century.
