This Marc Chagall exhibition poster is from the Moderna Museet in Stockholm for a 1973 exhibition featuring his work "La Vie paysanne" or "The Peasant Life" from 1925 which shows a peasant with a red cap leaning toward the large, central head of a white horse against a deep blue, cosmic-like background. A red and yellow house is visible in the upper left, completing the scene that blends themes of Russian folklore and romance.
Dimensions: 39.5 in x 26.5 in (100cm x 68 cm)
Marc Chagall was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism".
What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
