Our exhibition explores the numerous themes that are found throughout the artist’s long and colourful career.
It begins with a look at some of the most delicate and intrinsically Russian folk infused compositions, created during his time in Berlin. These etchings and wood engravings show a wonderful mastering of figures and ethereal compositions. We are delighted to exhibit a selection of works which can be considered selfportraits and they offer the opportunity to see the way in which the artist’s view of himself, changes through time. Chagall’s love of music and, in particular, Mozart is highlighted in his wonderful depictions of the Magic Flute. Furthermore, literature and ancient texts are heralded as a source of inspiration for numerous series – all of which are imbued with love.
