Auktion 277 : Marc Chagall - Forty Paintings 17.06.2022

In the spring of 1952 he met Valentina (Vava) Brodsky. They married in July of the same year. On a journey to Greece Chagall got acquainted with motifs from Greek mythology, which he would use in his later works, for example the illustrations of Longus’ Daphnis and Chloé. In 1966 Marc Chagall and Vava moved into La Colline, the villa in Saint-Paul specially designed for them. Working conditions were perfect there, with a large studio and various working spaces at his disposal. As he grew older, Chagall turned to new media and materials, such as sculpture, pottery, ceramics and mosaic art. He became especially interested in painting and glass art in an architectural context, realising numer­ ous commissions in the field of art and architecture.
