Marc CHAGALL (Belaruss 1887 - 1937 France)
The Painter and his Double
Colour lithograph
38 x 28 cm (15 x 11 inches)
This colored lithograph in limited edition comes from the magazine "Derrière le Miroir" the legendary art magazine published in Paris by Aimé Maeght, from 1946 to 1982. Some of the artists who
created lithographs for the magazine were Chagall, Miro, Braque, Giacometti, Kelly, Tapies, Riopelle, Pol Bury, Calder, Alechinsky, Ubac and Palazuelo.
Editions in circulation of Derrière le Miroir are now scarce and have become very valuable and much appreciated - especially lithographs by Chagall. In this work, characterized by the light blue
color of the sky and its lightness, is a poetic summa of the main subjects of the painter.
