Title
Marc Chagall Les Saltimbanques
Description

A coloured lithograph printed on Arches wove paper, Marc Chagall’s ‘Les Saltimbanques’ captures the lively and vibrant world of circus performers, a classic motif in his body of work that blends both joy and nostalgia. The print features acrobats and dancers in a dreamlike composition, adorned with patches of red, blue, green and yellow, to convey a sense of vibrancy and emotion. ‘Les Saltimbanques’ is a striking example of Chagall’s ability to blend reality with surrealism, inviting viewers into a world where the everyday is reimagined into the magical.

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.
