Description
Marc Chagall (1887-1985), The Tribe of Benjamin from The Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem, Original Color Lithograph, Signed & Numbered ARTIST: Marc Chagall (1887-1985) TITLE: The Tribe of Benjamin from The Twelve Maquettes of Stained Glass Windows for Jerusalem, 1964 MEDIUM: Original Color Lithograph IMAGE SIZE: 24" X 18" (61cm X 46cm) SHEET SIZE: 29.25" X 20.68" (74.3 X 52.53 Cm) FRAMED SIZE: 44 ½" x 37 ¼" (113.03cm x 94.62cm) SIGNATURE: Hand signed by Marc Chagall (1887-1985) in pencil in the lower right margin. EDITION: Numbered 40/150 in pencil in the lower left. CONDITION: Remarkably vivid color with rich saturation, this work is in very good condition. DISCUSSION: This stunning myriad of color which The Tribe of Benjamin radiates features an incredibly bold intensity which is undeniable to anyone who views the piece. The carousel of yellows, purples, reds, greens, and magnificent blues are central to the work, complementing and highlighting each element of the composition. It is charmingly whimsical with flora and fauna decorating the entire piece with a glimpse of the rooftops of a peaceful village in the background. As an eloquent rendition of one of the Tribes discussed in the Torah, this work acts as a complement to the other eleven maquettes of this Tribes series. Created in 1964, this image is part of a series of twelve lithographs which Chagall designed after the stain glass windows he created for the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew Medical Center, located just outside of Jerusalem. Hand signed by March Chagall in pencil in the lower right margin, the work was engraved and printed by Charles Sorlier in collaboration with Marc Chagall on Arches wove paper; the Arches watermark appears vertically in the right margin. On the lower right hand on the reverse side of the sheet, there is printed text which reads, "MARC CHAGALL, MAQUETTE DU VITRAIL 'BENJAMIN', pour Jérusalem, repuroudite en lithographie, Ch Sorlier, graveur - Mourlot, Imp." The engraver's signature also appears in the plate in the lower left hand side. This piece is from a larger edition of 150, numbered '40/150' in pencil in the lower left margin.
