Marc Chagall — Création (Mourlot 971)
Marc Chagall

Création (Mourlot 971)

This 1980 lithograph by Marc Chagall exemplifies the artist's mature coloristic vision and fantastical imagery, printed by the renowned Parisian workshop Mourlot in an edition of just 50 impressions on premium Arches paper. The work's generous dimensions of approximately 47 by 30 inches showcase Chagall's characteristic dreamlike composition, likely featuring his signature ethereal figures and vibrant palette that blend cubist, expressionist, and surrealist influences. As a signed and numbered example with full margins, this impression represents a significant example of Chagall's prolific late career practice in lithography, a medium he explored extensively in collaboration with master printers to disseminate his visionary works.
