Marc Chagall Chagall surréaliste – Chagall littéraire

Marc Chagall's prints, and in particular his extensive illustration sequences for literary and religious texts, date from the years following his return to Western Europe in 1922. Over 500 of these works on paper from all of Chagall's subsequent creative phases can be found in the collections of the Saarlandmuseum, including important lithograph series based on works of literature such as Daphnis and Chloe, La Fontaine's Fables, Dead Souls by Gogol or the Bible. With over 200 illustrations, this catalog presents Marc Chagall's most important work groups and shows, in addition to works on paper, selected paintings from major European collections: the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Berlin Nationalgalerie, the Kunsthaus Zurich, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Sprengel Museum in Hanover. Based on these works, the artist's poetic and literary influences are examined as well as the signature brand of Surrealism expressed in Chagall's style and iconography.
