Artwork by Marc Chagall in His Book from Christie’s
Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal; 6 July [O.S. 24 June] 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as “the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century” (though Chagall saw his work as “not the dream of one people but of all humanity”). According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be “the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists”. For decades, he “had also been respected as the world’s pre-eminent Jewish artist”. Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra.
Original art hand-rendered and signed by Marc Chagall on the frontispiece of his book “Marc Chagall de Draeger,” published by Draeger-Vilo: Paris: 1979. The great modernist employs wax crayon, pen, brush and India ink to execute a work directly onto the frontispiece. He inscribes the page opposite: “Pour Ingrid et Alfred en bon souvenir Chagall”. Dated 1979 to the lower left. The drawing’s stark black birds alighting in the tree provide a quintessential example of Chagall’s use of color to create movement in a piece. Measures 11.75″ x 11″. Near fine. With provenance from Christie’s. Sold for $10,000.
