Books selection
Chagall politique. Le Cri de liberté
exhibition catalog
Marc Chagall, over the course of a life crossed by two wars and an exile, is at the origin of a work powerfully anchored in the history of the 20th century. An emblematic figure of displacement and migration, the artist travels the world through the torments of the century, from the Russian Empire to France, from Germany to Palestine, from the United States to Mexico and, finally, in Mediterranean.
His art, imbued with a deep humanism and a strong political consciousness nourished by his Jewish roots and by the plurality of discovered cultures, is the messenger of an unfailing commitment to man and his rights, to equality and tolerance between beings. Carried by a great cry of freedom, it confronts the eye with wars and artistic battles, transcended by poetic force and imagination, the power of derision and humor.
Pencil and brush thus become weapons of peace, revealing the unconditional idealism of the “painter witness to his time”, his unshakeable faith in harmony and universal peace between men.

Chagall. Voyage dans la Bible - Unpublished studies and gouaches
In this work, three major specialists in modern art and Marc Chagall look at the work of illustrating the Bible carried out by the artist in 1930 and 1931, at the request of the publisher Ambroise Vollard.
Critics already knew the forty preparatory gouaches for the Bible engravings. But the recent discovery of the twenty-two unpublished studies collected in this book revolutionizes the understanding of this work.
These studies form a set where watercolor, gouache, pastel, ink and pencil mingle. Even more spontaneous than his gouaches, they seem to reflect the anxiety and the silent threats of a tragic time.

Les Fables de La Fontaine illustrées par Marc Chagall - Prestige model
“One of my most tenacious ambitions as a publisher had been to publish La Fontaine’s Fables, properly illustrated. It was the Russian painter Marc Chagall that I asked for the illustration of the book. We did not understand this choice of a Russian painter to interpret the most French of our poets. Now it is precisely because of the fabulist's oriental sources that I had thought of an artist to whom his origins and his culture made this prestigious Orient familiar. My hopes were not disappointed: Chagall produced a hundred dazzling gouaches.”
Ambroise Vollard, Memories of a picture dealer, Paris, 1937
So remembers Ambroise Vollard, the famous art dealer who, in 1926, entrusted Marc Chagall with this project.
This work celebrates this dialogue between two exceptional artists, La Fontaine, a dazzling stylist and moralist of human nature, and Marc Chagall, who delivers his dreamlike and personal vision of the Fables, nourished by the snowy landscapes of Vitebsk and by an animism inherited from traditions Hasidic cultures from Eastern Europe, punctuated with the colors and atmospheres of Brittany, Auvergne and the South of France.
