About the Item

Rich, deep blue hues pour over the lithograph, with brilliant patches of sunny yellows, and organic greens. The colors are poetic and impart romantic feeling into this image. A blue angel floats in the middle of the composition, delicately playing a flute – the flute. The music that inspired this piece comes through strongly in the melodic lines and highly saturated colors. Created in 1967, this work was inspired by a performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute in which he created the sets and costume shown on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House of New York. Created after the maquette for Marc Chagall’s “Triumph of Music,” a series of 2 large-scale decorations created for the Metropolitan Opera House in New York (one being Carmen, the other, The Magic Flute). Numbered 143/200 in pencil in the lower left, this piece was pulled on Arches paper and hand signed by Marc Chagall (Vitebsk, 1887 - Saint-Paul, 1985) in pencil in the lower right. A small inscription in the lower left states: 'D'Apres Marc Chagall - Ch. Sorlier Grav,' indicating Charles Sorlier as the engraver of the piece. Printed by Mourlot, Paris for the Editions of the Metropolitan Opera, New York. Catalogue Raisonné: This work is fully documented and referenced in the below catalogue raisonnés and texts (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the sale of the work). 1.
