This is a piece unlike any other by Chagall - its textured surface, accented by the collaged pieces of cloth make way for a very abstracted and characteristic effect unique to this work alone. Bordering on cubism and surrealism, Chagall has taken our standard impression of a profile piece and elevated it to new heights. Created in c. 1968, this original color lithograph with paper and cloth collage also appeared as the design for the cover of the exhibition catalogue by Pierre Matisse Gallery. Celebrating a show of original gouaches by Marc Chagall, the catalogue, Chagall Gouaches 1957 - 1968 will also be included in the sale of this piece. Hand signed by Chagall in pencil in the lower right margin and signed in the print in black in the lower left. Printed by Mourlot, Paris and published by the Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York. Please note: this is one of the few proofs printed with unique paper and cloth collage; this is not present on the cover of the catalogue which is on a smaller format of the sheet. PROVENANCE:From the collection of the Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York. Catalogue Raisonné & COA:It is fully documented and referenced in (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the final sale of the work) :1) Chagall Gouaches 1957 - 1968.
