Marc Chagall

A color lithograph depicting a double female profile, executed in the characteristic manner of Marc Chagall. The expressive black linear drawing, complemented by bright red, green, and blue accents, creates a surreal, poetic composition reminiscent of the artist's beloved — Bella. Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a Russian and French painter, graphic artist, and monumentalist, one of the most vivid masters of the 20th century, whose work combined the traditions of folk art with the techniques of Cubism and Surrealism. His poetic, phantasmagorical compositions featuring floating lovers, musicians, and biblical imagery became the artist's signature, with lithographs holding an important place in his legacy.
