Meyer Shapiro called Chagall (1887-1985) one of the greatest 
religious artists of all time, and these lithographs 
show why: powerful drawing, intense colors, and, 
most of all, compassion for the characters.

all are signed by the artist and are in limited editions of 50.

In 1930 he was commissioned by Vollard, a Paris
art dealer, to produce a series of illustrations
based upon Bible stories. Chagall travelled to
Palestine in search of inspiration, but the project
was a lengthy one, interrupted by World War II,
and was not eventually completed until the early

1950s.


Currently on show at New York's Jewish Museum is a show dedicated to the time during WWII & how it influenced his art.
