About the Item
The 1975 original poster by Marc Chagall for the Musée National Message Biblique is a remarkable fusion of fine art and printmaking, embodying the deep spirituality and vivid imagination that characterize Chagall's work. This poster was created to promote the museum in Nice, France, dedicated to Chagall's biblical-themed artworks, specifically the 17 large-scale paintings that make up his "Message Biblique" series.
Marc Chagall, a towering figure in 20th-century art, is known for his dreamlike, often fantastical compositions that draw upon a rich tapestry of Jewish folklore, biblical stories, and his own life experiences. His work in stained glass, painting, and printmaking is marked by a profound spiritual connection to the themes of love, faith, and human existence. The Musée National Marc Chagall in Nice is a testament to his enduring legacy, housing one of the largest public collections of his works.
This 1975 poster, printed by Mourlot, one of the most prestigious lithography studios in France, reflects Chagall's unique visual language. Mourlot Studios has a long history of collaboration with prominent artists, including Picasso, Matisse, and Miró, specializing in producing high-quality art posters that are now highly collectible. The studio’s expertise in lithography ensured that Chagall’s vibrant use of color and expressive forms were faithfully reproduced, making the poster not just a promotional piece but a work of art in itself.
The poster was likely created in conjunction with the opening or promotion of the Musée National Message Biblique, which was inaugurated in 1973. The museum and this series of artworks represent Chagall's artistic response to biblical narratives, with the artist himself having said, "For me, the Bible is a great source of life. The Bible is like an echo of nature, and this is the secret I have endeavored to transmit."
Chagall’s biblical paintings are filled with vibrant colors, floating figures, and symbolic imagery, and the 1975 poster reflects this characteristic style, inviting viewers into a world where the sacred and the imaginative coexist harmoniously. The imagery in the poster likely draws from one of the paintings in the "Message Biblique" series, making it a significant piece for collectors interested in Chagall's spiritual and artistic journey.
This poster holds value not just as a piece of advertising, but as a visual entry point into Chagall's mystical and spiritual worldview. The collaboration with Mourlot Studios adds to its collectible nature, as Mourlot’s prints are considered exemplary within the world of art lithography. For collectors of vintage posters and fans of Marc Chagall, this 1975 original represents both a piece of artistic history and a connection to the deeper spiritual messages that underpin much of Chagall’s work.

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.

1959 Original exhibition poster by Marc Chagall at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs
By Marc Chagall
Located in PARIS, FR
In 1959, Marc Chagall, one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, created a striking lithographic poster to promote his exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, a branch of the Palais du Louvre in Paris. This poster, like much of Chagall's work, is a dreamlike exploration of color and whimsical imagery, inviting viewers into a world where reality and fantasy blend effortlessly.
Chagall’s unmistakable style, with its vivid use of color, ethereal figures, and playful compositions, is fully on display in this piece. The poster, dominated by a striking red background, features an intimate arrangement of black line drawings that depict an array of elements central to Chagall’s thematic universe: the human figure, animals, and symbols of both folklore and the circus. A delicate face, rendered with flowing lines, is paired with a central figure of a child joyously balancing on a horse, a nod to Chagall's fascination with circus life, which he often saw as a metaphor for the artist’s own role in society — balancing the highs and lows of life.
The poster’s composition feels almost spontaneous, as if Chagall’s hand sketched these figures in a dreamlike reverie. The flowing lines capture both movement and emotion, while the bold red background evokes passion, intensity, and warmth, which are central to Chagall’s painterly language. His characteristic inclusion of whimsical figures and fantastical creatures contributes to the overall sense of wonder.
This exhibition poster is an artwork in its own right. Chagall had a unique relationship with posters and printmaking; he understood the power of these mediums not just as functional tools for advertisement but as an extension of his creative vision. As such, this poster doesn’t merely promote the exhibition—it embodies the playful, imaginative spirit of the works that were on display within the museum’s walls.
Chagall’s work often blurred the boundaries between fine art and folk art, drawing from Russian and Jewish traditions, as well as modernist movements. His use of bold color and fantastical imagery placed him in a unique position within the world of modern art, earning him international acclaim. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs exhibition poster...
