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.

1961 Daphnis and Chloe Suite - 42 lithographs:
1961
Daphnis
and Chloe is a pastoral elegy attributed to the Greek poet Longus, dating from
the second century A.D.
Chagall had always been delighted
with the tale, which analysed the simple, mutual passion of two abandoned
children who are protected by nymphs and the god Pan. When it was suggested to
Chagall by Tériade (1956), the famed Parisian publisher, that
he illustrate the fable of Daphnis and Chloe, Chagall began his preparation for
the project by making two trips to Greece. While visiting Athens, Delphi,
Olympia, Nauplis and Poros, Chagall executed a number of preliminary sketches
and gouaches for the series. Falling in love with Greece, its landscape,
history and climate deeply influenced his choice of colour and form for the
Daphnis and Chloe lithographs.
