Chagall: The Lithographs is a vast collection (1,050 individual pieces) dating from 1922 to 1985. The Russian-born artist lived most of his adulthood in France and is well known for his colorful and exuberant depictions of Jewish life. His work frequently addresses personal themes and intimate visions, such as his marriage and his deeply held faith. He worked in many media, but, “Lithography soon became his favored printing technique. That is for sure due primarily to the one element he had prior to now all the time missed in his graphic art: color. Color is employed in Chagall’s work with greatly varying intensity, from watercolor-like washes and fragile crayon lines to opaque layers whose effect closely resembles that of his luminescent gouaches.” This beautifully produced catalogue raisonnĂ© includes descriptions of Chagall’s lithographic process, which utilized stone or zinc plates and acid, and interviews with the printers who worked with Chagall to produce these pieces. This can be a lovely, colorful book that reproduces a few of the best examples of this vital artist’s favorite works.
