About this book

An exceptional insight into Chagalls work at an exceptional price A small and portable pocket book whose contents are larger-than-life Published to accompany exhibitions at Montreal Beaux-Arts Museum from 28th January to 11th June 2017 and Los Angeles LACMA from 23th July 2017 to 7th January 2018 Music was a constant source of inspiration for Marc Chagall both as a muse for creation and as a rhythm for composition. Intimately linked to his family world and the Jewish cultural context of his native town Vitebsk Chagalls relationship with music would manifest itself consistently throughout his long life. In fact music is omnipresent in his oeuvre: there is a sense of flow between his attentive listening to composers and his scenic and architectural creations. This book underlines the vital influence of music on the artists work from the 1920s to the 1960s. Accompanies exhibitions at Montreal Beaux-Arts Museum from 28th January to 11th June 2017 and Los Angeles LACMA from 23th July 2017 to 7th January 2018
