Paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. 95 pages, illustrations (some colour); 30 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. Profusely illustrated. *** "Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is widely regarded as epitomizing the 'painter as poet'. The worldwide admiration he commanded remains unparalleled by any artist of the 20th century. Chagall's paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, portray colourful dreams and tales that are deeply rooted in his Russian Jewish origins. The memories and yearning they evoke recall his native Vitebsk, and the great events that mark the life of ordinary people: birth, love, marriage and death. They tell of a world full of everyday miracles, in the room of lovers, on the streets of Vitebsk, beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Heaven and earth seem to meet in a topsy-turvy world in which whimsical figures of people and animals float through the air with gravity-defying serenity. This art album presents Chagall's work. The book covers the five stages of the artist's life and work - Russia : the early years 1887-1910; the Paris years 1910-1914; war and revolution in Russia 1914-1923; France and America 1923-1948; and the late work 1948-1985. It also includes a chronology of Chagall's life." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Russia: the early years, 1887-1910; The Paris years, 1910-1914; War and revolution in Russia, 1914-1923; France and America; The late work, 1948-1985; Marc Chagall, 1887-1985: a chronology.
