| 1923c Marc Chagall and his family photographed by Therese Bonney in his studio on Avenue d'Orleans, Paris |
Marc Zakharovich Chagall (born Moishe Zakharovich Shagalov 1887 - 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.
For more biographical information see part 1, and for earlier works see parts 1 - 9 also.
This is part 10 of a major 28-part series on the works of Marc Chagall:
1931-39 The Bible (printed 1956):
After
Chagall completed his etchings for The Fables (1930),
Vollard again offered Chagall a commission, this time for a set of etchings
illustrating themes from the Bible. Chagall went to Palestine to get a sense of
the land itself. Returning to Paris, he began work on the 105 etchings for this
project, first between 1931 and 1939 (when the first sixty-five etchings were
executed and printed) and then between 1952 and 1956 (when the remaining forty
etchings were completed and printed).
