Chagall - Derrière le Miroir N° 182 - 1969

Marc Chagall (1887–1985) famous Belarusian painter (Mark Zagarovic Sagal) naturalized French.
After his first experiences in his home country, he went to Paris in 1910 and came into contact with French artists. He returned to Russia in 1917 during the revolution and was appointed Commissioner for the Arts. In 1923, thanks to a Danish diplomat, he managed to once again go to France where he began to establish himself. During the second World War he fled to the United States to return permanently to France in 1949. His painting and lithographs, inspired by his dreams transfigured into a lyrical and fantastic expression, are applauded by critics, merchants, the public. Maeght published him repeatedly in the prestigious Derrière le Miroir series, becoming his exclusive merchant for Europe. Exhibitions in major museums in the world.
