comunicato stampa

Marc Chagall's rich oeuvre is rediscovered in this retrospective. With 153 paintings and works on paper created between 1907 and 1970 - including many never before seen in the United States - Marc Chagall provides new insight about the artist and his idiosyncratic work. Borrowing from many art movements but never following any one school, Chagall employed avant-garde techniques in works that embrace storytelling, allegory, memory, and religion. Vivid in color and texture, humor and fantasy, Chagall's art reflects a distinct and personal mix of sources and ideas.

Organized jointly by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux, Paris, and the Musée National Message Biblique Marc Chagall, Nice, this exhibition is the first comprehensive look at Chagall since 1985 and offers a unique opportunity to reevaluate a body of work that is universally renowned but often underestimated. The exhibition provides substantial new scholarship on the artist and his work. Marc Chagall will include 153 paintings and works on paper - many never before seen in the United States - from all periods of the artist's career.
