Note: Marc Chagall: The name of Marc Chagall requires little introduction for, along with Picasso, he stands at the summit of twentieth century art. More than any artist of any time, Marc Chagall was the master interpreter of dreams and allegories. These he expressed with an astonishing innocence and purity and -- as his long, productive career advanced -- he turned more towards original lithography as his most favoured vehicle of artistic vision.
  Born into a poor family in Russian Vitebsk, Marc Chagall first began to paint in 1907. He attended an art school in St. Petersburg for several years before leaving for Paris in 1910 to study under the famous stage designer, Leon Bakst. His first major exhibition of art took place in Berlin in 1914 and had an immediate influence upon the course of contemporary German Expressionism. Marc Chagall was forced to return to Russia during the First World War but returned to permanently live in the Paris suburb of Vence in 1931.
  Marc Chagall executed his first important series of prints in 1922. Commissioned mainly by Vollard his early graphic art was exclusively in the medium of etching. Marc Chagall was introduced in 1948 to original lithography by Fernand Mourlot, owner of one of the world's great lithography workshops.During the following thirty-five years over one thousand original lithographs were created by his hand. These amazing and vibrant works of art place Marc Chagall as perhaps the greatest lithographer of modern art.
  During his career, five catalogue raisonne volumes detailing Marc Chagall's lithographs were published in Paris. The first volume appeared in 1957, while the final volume was produced shortly after his death. For each of these invaluable volumes, Marc Chagall was commissioned to create a suite of original lithographs. For Chagall Lithographe II, the artist created twelve original lithographs, six in colours and six in black and white. As well, he also created the double-page front cover lithograph. Edition sizes for these original Marc Chagall lithographs were not given but it is generally believed that they exist in impressions of two thousand or less. For years these important commissioned lithographs have been eagerly sought for by collectors.
