Description
MARC CHAGALL (1887-1985). Marc Chagall, born Moishe Shagal, was a Russian and French artist of Jewish ancestry. He is known for his artwork that blends surrealism, Fauvism, and Cubism to depict Jewish folklore and memories of his youth in Vitebsk. He was described by Picasso as having an unparalleled understanding of color and for decades he had been said to be the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist. His most famous works include I and the Village, Paris Through the Window, and La Marie (The Bride).Signed Program. February 11, 1967. New Haven, Connecticut. A program signed Marc Chagall 1967 for his lecture at Yale University. While Chagall is primarily known as a painter, he had a connection to the theater world because of his theatrical designs. The year prior to this lecture, he had completed the murals The Triumph of Music and The Sources of Music for the new Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center. He also designed the sets and costumes for the Mets production of Mozart's The Magic Flute, which premiered in February 1967, the same month as his Yale lecture. Given Chagalls contributions to stage design and his mastery of color theory, the school invited him to speak about the intersection of fine art, stagecraft, and the power of color. Chagall usually resided in France, this program being rare example of him sharing his artistic philosophy with an American academic audience. This program is under a reproduction of his painting I and the Village. The program is professionally framed and in very fine condition.

New York and London: Funk & Wagnalls Company, 1915. First American, Third overall. Cloth. Very Good. G. W. Beldam, photographer. This is the third edition, first American edition, and significantly augmented over the prior editions, of a classic tennis manual and issued at a time that the game was solidifying into what we have today, as reflected in the title, not just with the word, "Modern", but the dropping of the word, "Lawn", which was in the title prior. 8vo. 20.5 by 13.5 cm. xviii, [2], 301 pp. 48 interspersed plates, all b/w photos, not part of the pagination. The green cloth has scattered light, not bothersome, soiling, and small spots of color loss, the spine, slightly darkened. Some of the pages within have offsetting from various things once inserted, such as newspaper clippings and clovers. That said, this is overwhelmingly a clean, and tight, copy, and quite attractive as well. Easily graded Very Good.
