Marc Chagall's (1887-1985) art is an interior art of emotions and feelings which create their own forms of physical reality. Already an established artist, Chagall began print making in 1922 at the age of 33. It wasn't until 1948, while working with the lithographic printer Fernand Mourlot, that Chagall found the lithographic medium ideal for his graphic artwork needs creating more than a thousand color and black and white lithographs during the next 35 years.
Chagall's aesthetic is somewhat whimsical with fairy-tale qualities of fantastic subject matter. His naive-realistic style and unique artistic expression brought to printmaking themes and images recurrent throughout his career. "Elie's Chariot" exemplifies the complexities of Chagall's aesthetic and the sensitive adaptation of his unique interpretation of the biblical allegory.
This Marc Chagall is in a catalina style 29" x 33" reversed curved softened with black mahogany veneered frame with reversed grain and a beaded lip. The matching wood fillet echoes the frame. The outer warm taupe rice paper fabric, middle beveled accent suede coal and inner taupe rice paper fabric mats are acid and lignin free and are protected with Acrylite-AR OP3 (UV) by CYRO ... $9,500.00
