Original lithographic invitation with art by Marc Chagall for exhibition at Libraririe Galeire La Hue in 1949. Chagall was a Belarusian-French modernist artist renowned for his unique blend of symbolism, fantasy, and folk elements in his paintings. His fairytale-like images that act as whimsical and poetic depictions of life and love, and are full of zest for life.

The card also promotes two key literary publications, closely tied to Marc Chagall and his world: “Chagall ou l'Orage Enchante” (Chagall or the enchanting storm). Raïssa Maritain, a mystical Catholic philosopher and poet, wrote this as a poetic and spiritual meditation on Chagall’s art, portraying it as an expression of divine wonder and inner turbulence.

Further, Marc Chagall’s beloved wife and muse, Bella, wrote an evocative memoir ‘Lumières Allumées’ (Burning Lights). She blends childhood memories from a Hasidic Jewish upbringing in Vitebsk with spiritual imagery and tenderness that oozes from Chagall’s artistic world.

The piece is framed with a hand painted and patinated frame with elegant detailing, with dark gray passepartout, and a matching background.
