Beschreibung

Marc Chagall was a Russian-born Jew who become one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Offered here is an original color lithograph from his portfolio "Bible Lithographs" published in Verve in 1956. The image was later pictured in the catalogue for the grand opening of the Marc Chagall National Museum in Nice in 1973. Not long before Henri Matisse's death in 1954, Pablo Picasso remarked, "When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is." This lithograph demonstrates the core truth in that judgment. "David and Bathsheba" is one of Chagall's most sought-after lithographs, and it has frequently been the featured illustration in books about them. In Charles Sorlier's Chagall: Le Livre des Livres / Illustrated Books, it is the frontispiece, the rear cover illustration, and the image that illustrates the issue of Verve in which it was first published. Image/sheet size is 14 inches by 10 ¾ inches. In as-new condition: clean, bright, and crisp. Mourlot 132. Size: Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers W2555
