Les deux pigeons, 1925 aquarelle et gouache sur
papier
The cycle of gouaches of the Fables of La
Fontaine, inspired by the fortunate encounter
with the great publisher and art dealer Vollard,
is one of the most astounding examples of
Chagalls innovative creativity during this
period. Here he achieved a perfect balance
between this classic work of French literature
and the metaphors it contains, particularly dear
to Russian culture

Marc Chagall was a French-Russian artist whose
work anticipated the dream-like imagery of
Surrealism. Over the course of his career Chagall
developed the poetic, amorphous, and deeply
personal visual language. Born Moishe Shagal on
July 7, 1887 in Vitebsk, Russia (present-day
Belarus) to a Hasidic Jewish family, the artist
was raised immersed in Jewish culture and
iconography. Studying under the artist Yehuda Pen
as a youth, the Judaic traditions and folklore of
his hometown permeated Chagalls paintings. After
studying in St. Petersburg, the artist moved to
Paris in 1910, where he quickly befriended
members of the French avant-garde, including
Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger. Visiting
Russia in 1914, the artist was prevented from
returning to Paris due to the outbreak of World
War I until 1926. In addition to his paintings,
Chagall was also noted for his vibrant works in
stained glass and lithography. Forced to flee
Paris during World War II, Chagall lived in the
United States and traveled through to Israel
before returning to France in 1948. In 1958,
Chagall met glass art masters Charles Marq and
Brigitte Simon, who would become his longtime
collaborators. During the 1960s Chagall continued
to travel widely, often in association with
large-scale commissions he received. Among these
were windows for the synagogue of the Hadassah
University Medical Center, Jerusalem (installed
in 1962) a ceiling for the Paris Opéra
(installed in 1964) a window for the United
Nations building, New York (installed in 1964)
murals for the Metropolitan Opera House, New York
(installed in 1967) and windows for the
cathedral in Metz Cathedral, one of the largest
and most beautiful Gothic churches in France
(1958-1968). Today, his works are held in the
collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New
York, the Tate Gallery in London, the Tel Aviv
Museum of Art, and the Albertina in Vienna, among
others
