Chagall

Meer over het boek

“I know of no other artist whose work achieves a state of poetry with such ease and felicity,” writes André Pieyre de Mandiargues. From the roofs of Vitebsk and the images of his childhood to the banks of the Seine, Chagall has been filling our dreams with magic for almost seventy years. Mandiargues invites the reader to rediscover in his most recent pictures all the fabulous creatures that Chagall’s brush and palette have given birth to…a world of angels and lovers, of saltimbanques and fiddlers floating in the clouds, of horses that offer bouquets of flowers. If we are able to enjoy so many marvels today, our thanks must first of all go to Chagall. There are more than 148 illustrations, of which 48 are in color, and a double-page original lithograph. There is also a biography of the artist and a bibliography.
