"The Wedding" By Marc Chagall Limited Edition Facsimile Signed/Numbered 34/375 Collectible Print

Chagall, Marc (1887 -1985). Russian artist of a devout Jewish family, bor in Vitebsk. In 1907 he entered a
minor art school in St. Petersburg while at the same time working as a sign painter; throughout his work a
foundation of Russian art and the sign painter's technique was evident. In 1910 he went to Paris where he came in contact with the Cubists where his work began to show Cubist influence, but subjects generally remain of life in Vitebsk. In 1914 he returned home. He was drawn back to his Jewish heritage and his marriage resulted in a series of exuberant paintings of lovers. After the revolution in 1918 Chagall was appointed director of the Vitebsk art school, which became a center of avant-garde ideas. From 1919-1922 he worked as a theatrical designer for the Jewish State Theater, executing murals. In 1922 he went to Berlin executing etchings for Vollard. In 1925-1926 he completed a set of illustrations for an edition of La Fontaine's Fables and held a one - man show in New York. In 1930 his autobiography, Ma Vie, was published and Chagall began to prepare illustrations for the Bible, traveling to the Middle East. He went to the U.S. in 1941, producing the décor for the Ballet Theater. He returned to France after the war.
Of his later work his designs for stained glass windows should be mentioned, and his
paintings for the ceilings of the Paris Opera.
