The great modernist employs wax crayon, pen, brush and India ink to execute a work directly onto the frontispiece. Original art hand-rendered and signed by Marc Chagall on the frontispiece of his book “Marc Chagall de Draeger,” published by Draeger-Vilo: Paris: 1979. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra. Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. For decades, he “had also been respected as the world’s pre-eminent Jewish artist”. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be “the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists”. Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as “the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century” (though Chagall saw his work as “not the dream of one people but of all humanity”). An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal 6 July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin.
