A rare and elegant monograph on one of the 20th century’s most influential artists, Marc Chagall is an intimate and thoughtful essay by poet-philosopher Raïssa Maritain written during her wartime exile. This French-language first edition was issued in a limited run of 1,500 numbered copies.
The text offers a sensitive exploration of Chagall’s artistic vision and life, accompanied by a poem about the artist and an original self-portrait lithograph by Chagall himself. Included are an interview with Chagall and six black-and-white plates reproducing his work. Bound in printed paper wrappers with bold black and red titling, this octavo volume is a distinguished example of mid-century art writing and French émigré publishing.
