The beautiful Chagall Hommage à Marc Chagall, 1969 created for a special edition of the well-known Parisian art review XXe Siècle is elegant in both composition and coloring. The overlapping figures and bold hues animate the interior of the image with a remarkable sense of life.

Directed by Sicilian critic and gallerist Gualtieri di San Lazzaro, the art review XXe Siècle featured all great modern artists, from Sonia Delaunay to Joan Miró to Marc Rothko. This lithograph, created by Chagall to illustrate a special edition of the well-known Parisian art review dedicated to his achievements, bears all the trademark qualities of the artist’s best work. A man and woman appear in the center of the work, anchoring a composition that features cool blues, warm pinks, and nuanced neutral shades. Small houses grow from a ground animated by donkeys and walking figures. A crescent moon and subtle bouquet of flowers complete the image. Located firmly in the thriving Parisian art scene of the 1970’s, this print is a must-have for any serious collector of Chagall’s whimsical graphic works.
