Chagall

In this lively and comprehensive book, Monica Bohm-Duchen examines Marc Chagall’s prodigious output, not only in painting but also in book illustration, theatre design, stained glass and poetry. She follows Chagall from his Russian-Jewish childhood, through his encounter with the Parisian avant-garde and his activities in revolutionary Russia, to his later years in America and the South of France. This is the first ever survey to take full advantage of new material made available to the West since glasnost.
