Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was born into a Jewish family in Vitebsk, in present-day Belarus, and spent much of his working life in France. His paintings combine memories, love, village life and religious imagery with extraordinary colour. People and places often seem to float together outside ordinary space. This print captures that approach particularly well, mixing Paris landmarks with an intimate couple, flowers and a dreamlike blue landscape.
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.
