Dreams, Whimsy, Poetry: A Celebration of Marc Chagall
40 years ago, Marc Chagall passed away at the age of 97. To celebrate his legacy, Hidden are exhibiting a new collection of rare, original prints.
On March 28th, 1985, the French-Russian artist Marc Chagall passed away at the age of 97. To mark the 40th anniversary of the artist’s death, Hidden Gallery, renowned for their expertise in museum-quality artworks by household names, are exhibiting a new collection of extraordinary original prints which are available for purchase.
A prolific painter and printmaker, for over three quarters of a century Chagall developed a reputation for conjuring the most miraculous, romantic imagery into existence, often against the general current of 20th century art. Roosters, fiddlers, trees and floating lovers are just a few of the recurring motifs that occupied Chagall. With his use of glorious colour, he would masterfully pull together otherwise disparate images that defied logic.
Printmaking was integral to Chagall’s practice and during his lifetime he produced over a thousand lithographs and over five hundred etchings. Chagall famously stated, “when I held a lithographic stone or a copperplate in my hand, I thought I was touching a talisman”. Hidden Gallery’s latest collection of vibrant, original prints has the same, undeniably magical pull which simply must be experienced in person. An extremely coveted, hand-signed example of one of Chagall’s final lithographs can be found on display, alongside jewell-like lithographs from a rare 1957 portfolio.
