| | Composition for XXe siècle A look at the catalogues raisonnés for lithographs created in the 1960s and 70s reveals that Marc Chagall has frequently experimented with new or modified stylistic devices. Sometimes he framed his pictures rather amply, or he tried dark background colours or used visual alienation techniques – such as the web of finer and coarser meshes used in this graphical work. The thus-created effect is striking: the structure covering the drawing emphasizes the figures beneath it rather than hiding them and directs our attention towards them. | Technique: | Original lithograph in colors (Mourlot 608) This is N O T a mass-produced reprint (photomechanical reproduction) but the original lithograph from the year 1970, exactly as referenced in Mourlot's catalogue raisonné. | | Year: | 1970 | | Sizes: | 31 x 24 cm / 12.2" x 9.3" (sheet) | | Edition | Paper: | One of 3000 unsigned impressions for the book edition on smooth velin paper.
