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.

He is one of the most important surrealist artists. Through his art, Magritte creates humor and mystery with juxtapositions and shocking irregularities. Some of his hallmark motifs include the bourgeois “little man,” bowler hats, apples, hidden faces, and contradictory texts. René Magritte’s father was a tailor and his mother was a miller. Tragedy struck Magritte’s life when his mother committed suicide when he was only fourteen. Magritte and his two brothers were thereafter raised by their grandmother. Magritte studied at the Brussels Academy of Fine Arts from 1916 to 1918. After graduating he worked as a wallpaper designer and in advertisement.

- HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO Signed Lithograph, Roman Monument, Arch, Sandwich, SurrealBy Antonio RecalcatiLocated in Union City, NJHOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO is an original, hand drawn, stone lithograph by the Italian artist Antonio Recalcati (1938-2022) printed in Paris France c. 1973 using hand lithography techniques on archival printmaking paper, 100% acid free. HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO presents a surreal, landscape scene depicting an ancient Roman monument, empty town square with a lone shadowy figure visible in the upper window; a mysterious still life arrangement is set in the foreground with a ham? sandwich and drinking goblet positioned on the ground presenting a point of intrigue for the viewer. Print size - 20.25 x 28.75 in., unframed, very good condition, pencil signed by Antonio Recalcati, Printer's Proof dedicated "Pour Joseph"850 In 1973, Paris Recalcati painted a series of pictures titled “The Boheme de Chirico”. It is an unconventional and ironic reading of the great Giorgio de Chirico. The metaphysical monuments in the squares are transformed into physical objects such as a sandwich, macaroni dish, Parma ham, etc. The exhibition at the “Galérie Mathias Fels” in Paris received great success from the critics. The text in the exhibition catalogue is by Alain Jouffroy. President Georges Pompidou, had sent a jeep from Élysée Palace to have some paintings to view. Recalcati took up the theme of "ham" several times, for example in a painting from 1973, "La bohème de Chirico, place d'Italie" or in the work "Jambon de Paris" from 1972. Recalcati often exhibited in the 1970's in Italy, Paris, Caracas, and New York. During this time the 'Ham series' was created. About the artist - Antonio Recalcati (2 May 1938 – 4 December 2022) was an Italian painter and sculptor, born in a working-class family in Bresso, a suburb of Milan. Born in 1938 in Bresso, near Milan, who died on 4 December 2022, Antonio Recalcati was a major artist of the second half of the 20th century. Known first as a painter of the New Figuration in Paris, he was later more closely related to the movement of the Narrative Figuration. Without an artistic background, he was noted in the first half of the 1960s by his "Imprections" (Impronte), paintings made by applying directly to the canvas and in oil his own body or empty clothes (shirts, underpants, body jerseys). This process is then of total originality. It carries an unprecedented expressionist charge, and it becomes enigmatic when combined with abstract shapes or narrative devices (space of the canvas separated into several boxes, such as a page of comics). Exhibited both in Italy; in Paris in the salons and galleries (Gallery Mathias Fels, gallery Claude Levin, Galerie André Schoeller); in Brussels (Fragmy Gallery, Lanzberg Gallery); in New York (Odissey gallery); he participates in historical exhibitions such as: (Paris, 1964); and , During these same years, he befriended poets (Jacques Prévert) and novelists (Dino Buzatti), and he participated – with other artists such as Gilles Aillaud, Eduardo Arroyo, and Jean-Jacques Lebel – in several collective works that had become emblematic of the commitment of a new generation of painters: Grand Tableau...Category
