Marc Chagall's Carmen surrounds its theatrical figures with a rich red ground beneath the Metropolitan Opera and Lincoln Center lettering. A stringed instrument, patterned costumes and sweeping gestures animate the composition, while pale faces and cool blue-green passages stand out against the warm background. The floating, overlapping forms bring music and movement into a dreamlike stage scene.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.

The Artist

Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall began using printmaking techniques when he was 35 years old. He produced a lot of lithographs, etchings, and woodcuts while residing in Berlin, Germany, during the time. The art dealer Vollard hired Chagall in 1923 to illustrate the Bible, La Fontaine’s Fables, and The Dead Souls by Gogol.
