Marc Chagall in His Studio, France, 1984 by Jean-Michel Voge is a 23.4" x 16.5" archival pigment print edition 2/5 printed by the artist on Japanese Awagami handmade paper -- signed by the photographer, titled, and dated on verso (photo back).
One of the most celebrated 20th Century artists, French painter Marc Chagall (1887-1985) was photographed in his studio at 97 years old in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France in 1984. The painter, an early modernist, produced colorful playful works in eclectic genres that he synthesized from Cubism, Symbolism, Fauvism, and Surrealism. Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s that Chagall was the only painter remaining who understood color. Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity."
