About the Item

An exceptional and very rare resin modernist ice bucket, decorated in deep burgundy, attributed to the works of the pioneering modernist French artist Marc Chagall. The ice bucket is adorned with various embossed images of deer, elephant, owl and camel, interspersed with dense leaf and branch decoration, the body of the piece is in the form of a Pineapple, with fronds to the top of the lid. Measures: Height 28cm x Width 20cm *Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal; 6 July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Jewish-French artist An early modernist, he was associated with 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. Born in the Russian Empire, today Belarus, he was of Litvak origin. Before WW1, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern Europe and Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1923. 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 Fraumunster in Zurich, 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 Opera. *various sources
