CHAGALL POSTERS AND PRINTS

Chagall, Marc

1954

Litograph

Mourlot, Paris

71 x 47,5 cm

Interpretative rendering created from a 1952 painting. This poster, completed by Charles Sorlier, does not mention the name of the engraver.
Paris, a city of wonder and passion, inspired countless works by Chagall, but in this color lithograph the city has never been as beautifully romanticized. The famed Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysées are intertwined with lush flowers, a couple embracing, and a rainbow of yellow, orange, pink, and violet. So many different scenes and colors blend together effortlessly to create an incredible, balanced, interpretation of love and land.
