SUMMARY:Chester Arts Centre: Chester Art Centre: Marc Chagall   Original Li
 thographs and Etchings
DESCRIPTION:Marc Chagall \nOriginal Lithographs and Etchings\nJames Parton
 \, recalled how the artist stood beside the lithographer to watch the sin
 gle sheets pass through the hand-fed stone press\, one colour at a time 
 . . . to catch every nuance of shading. [He] threw out the whole first se
 t of gravure plates: the yellow\, he felt\, was off a shade.\nThe Russia
 n-born painter and printmaker Marc Chagall (1887-1985) now has a deserved 
 reputation as one of the 20th century’s best-loved artists. Born in Vite
 bsk\, Russia\, Chagall studied in St Petersburg before travelling to Paris
  where he became an influential young member of the avant-garde circle of 
 artists establishing their careers in the heart of the French capital.\n\n
 Enthralled by the many sights\, sounds and colours of the Paris streets\, 
 in 1917 Chagall returned to his native Vitebsk to make use of his new expe
 riences as Director and Commissar of Fine Art. However\, his bright\, colo
 urful\, fantasy-based work irked the conservative local authorities\, so h
 e left for Moscow to design for the new Jewish Theatre. Returning to Paris
  in 1923\, he met the dealer and collector Ambroise Vollard\, who would go
  on to commission and publish some of Chagall’s most important suites of
  prints in the following decade. Fear for his life as a Russian born Jew m
 eant that between 1941-47 he moved between occupied France and the USA\, e
 ventually settling near Nice where he continued to paint and live out his 
 final years.\n\nChagall was a prolific artist\, his most cherished sources
  of imagery coming from memories of a Jewish childhood\, Bible stories\, a
 nd of the folklore from his early life in Russia. He died in 1985.\n\nAll 
 lithographs\, etchings available during the exhibition are original prints
 .  Mostly unsigned\, some signed in plate\, they were produced in the 40
 ’s\, 50’s and 60’s with the artist’s supervision by renowned print
 ers like Mourlot Freres in Paris.  All prints and posters are genuine and
  some have an accompanying  justification page if part of a particular s
 uite. Should a customer be doubtful we can provide a certificate of authe
 nticity.
