The 1957 Galerie Maeght exhibition invitation for Marc Chagall’s "Peintures récentes" (Recent Paintings) is a piece of art ephemera - it was not originally created to be preserved.

It was created to invite select guests to the vernissage (opening preview), this folded card showcases iconic motifs from Chagall’s whimsical, dreamlike universe

The invitation is designed as a folded sheet. ( photo No 3)

The front or inner layout features an original lithographic composition or print by Chagall depicting a small clown and a donkey—two of his most deeply personal and recurring symbols

Framed with an antique wonderful highly decorated frame in a dark gold color., placed on a creme - colored background and UV glass.

(Please note that the invitation due to its age, has some yellow marks)

H 35 x W 30 cm.
