About the Item

First English Edition, published by Harry N. Abrams, New York, 1984. One of the most acclaimed artists of the 20th century, Marc Chagall is considered a visual poet and a master of fantasy. This Is especially evident in his drawings, watercolours and gouaches, seeing the works most expressive of Chagall's inner vision. Art historian Werner Haftmann gives a deep understanding of Chagall’s working methods and creative process in addition to specific critical and art historical discussions of each plate. He provides a brilliant insight into Chagall's very special blend of spontaneity and discipline that produces a body of work of true originality and masterful colour. Hardback in publisher’s original dust jacket, text in English, around 200 pages. 77 full-page plates in colour and black and white throughout.
