In his images, Marc Chagall (1887-1985) liberated the world from the chains of gravity and allowed it to enjoy the enraptured freedom of poetry. In the process, he was inspired by the folklore of his White Russian homeland, Wizebsk, as well as his Jewish ancestry, Christian iconography, and the expressive forms of international avant-garde art, which he explored more intensively after 1911 in Berlin and Paris.This publication features an exclusive selection of over one hundred treasured works from all of Chagall’s creative phases: paintings, book illustrations, and gouaches, including works in the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Russian State Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Tretjakov Gallery in Moscow. A key role is played by the spectacular ensemble of murals influenced by the Russian avant-garde and cubism, which Chagall painted in 1920 for the Jewish Theater in Moscow. Its central painting alone measures an unusual three by eight meters. (French edition ISBN 3-7757-1847-8) Exhibition schedule: Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden, July 7 – October 29, 2006
