Marc Chagall
If we had nothing of Chagall but his Bible, he would be for us a great modern artist . . .
Bible 1956 After the grandeur of early Christian and medieval art, after Rembrandt, the illustration of the Bible seemed a finished task. It is remarkable that in an age like ours an artist should risk this enterprise again. Chagall is the chosen master for this task. The result owes much to the happy conjunction of his Jewish culture – to which painting was alien – and modern art – to which the Bible has been a closed book. Chagall was prepared for this achievement by his permanent receptivity of mind. He is a rare modern painter whose art has been accessible to the full range of his emotions and thoughts. . . In almost every image we experience the precise note of his emotion, his awe or sadness or joy, which is voiced in the melody of shapes and the tonal scale peculiar to each conception. .. . ..Chagall’s engraved marks are a loving ornament of the page. The needle weaves an infinitely fine web of tiny points, hatchings, lines, grains of black – a shimmering veil, dense and soft, created with joy, filled with light and movement, often playful, sometimes grave, always captivating through its texture and tones. The resulting range of the pictures is amazingly rich. I do not have to itemize what is clear enough in the plates – Chagall’s capacity to create the sorrowful and gay, the grave and the charming, scenes of the most ingratiating lightness and the awesome apparitions of God. Meyer Schapiro, 1956
The 105 plates were etched between 1931 and 1939; 39 of them were modified between 1952 and 1956. The etchings were published by Teriade in Paris in 1956 in an edition of 275, with 20 H.C. copies.
