réf. 1086231970. Signed. CHAGALL Marc. Autograph letter signed. Zurich September 9 1970. Single sheet of Dolder Grand Hotel airmail-weight stationery measuring 6 by 8-1/4 inches; pp. 2 with original matching hand-addressed envelope. $2200.Extraordinary 1970 autograph signed letter written entirely in Yiddish from Marc Chagall to acclaimed Yiddish writer and Jewish activist S.L. Shneiderman thanking him for sending a book on Ilya Ehrenburg; expressing his hopes that they will see each other in the near future; and explaining that he is in Zurich for an event related to having made the stained glass windows for the Fraumunster Church.The letter written on a sheet of Dolder Grand Hotel airmail stationary entirely in Chagall's hand and dated ""9/Sept 1970"" and accompanied by a hand-addressed matching envelope reads in full translated: ""Dear friend Schneiderman A thousand years have gone by and I remember youÑand your Yiddish writing styleÑbut we seldom see each other. Thank you for your book about poor Ehrenburg and also the attached article about me not a public/published one. I will read your book. You can imagine that since that terrible epoch for us Jews we can never forget. I hope that someday I will see you. I send regards to you and to all the good Jews in America. With love Marc Chagall. P.S. I am here for the opening/conference since I made Biblical vitrages stained glass windows for the Fraumunster Church in Zurich."" This letter was written just before friction began to emerge between Shneiderman and Chagall. While Chagall had grown into an acclaimed artist in Europe much of that fame was dependent on working with non-Jewish entities such as churches and even on drawing depictions of events in the New Testament. Increasingly the Christian world began to embrace Chagall and to interpret his work as having ecumenical or even Messianic undertones. Chagall continued in his artistic endeavors and failed to respond to some of the religious-based commentary. Shneiderman felt that this was intolerable publicly criticizing Chagall's failure to meet with Jewish representatives in the community he worked in and his new alignment with Christian and secular authorities. While their relationship did not completely sour and they continued to correspond their relationship grew strained. At the time this letter was penned Shneiderman had just completely a book on Ilya Ehrenburg a famous Soviet-Jewish writer and cultural figure. Highly regarded as a translator journalist poet novelist and travel writer Ehrenburg is probably best known for his Black Book a powerful work detailing the genocide of Soviet Jews by the Nazis during the Holocaust. His book The Thaw on liberalization after Stalin also had a powerful influence and gave a name to an era. Sadly Ehrenburg's reputation was quickly destroyed by antisemites and conspiracy theorists after the war who seized upon an article he wrote called ""Kill!""Ñpublished while the Soviets were losing the war and the Germans were deep inside Soviet territoryÑin which Ehrenburg entreated soldiers to kill at least one German a day. Postwar he has often been blamed for the sacking of Germany by Russian troops though he condemned their actions. He died horribly of prostate and bladder cancer still a committed communist. The recipient of this letter was the famous Yiddish writer and journalist Samuel ""S.L."" Shneiderman. Continuing his distinguished early career as a war journalist Shneiderman is best known today for raising awareness about the plight of the Warsaw Ghetto after his arrival in the United States in 1940 and for his dedication to preserving the history of the Jews in Poland throughout his life. His works on the Holocaust and the terrible fate of the Jews remain the best known of his works. Shneiderman and his wife Eileen were also avid collectors of Yiddish-language books and their collection is now housed at the University of Maryland.Slight soiling to envelope letter fine. unknown

1926réf. 141411Paris: Au Sans Pareil 1926. Softcover. Fine. Limited Edition. 955pp. Octavo. Bound in the original wrappers with a stiff blue wrap around jacket with dark blue lettering on the front and spine. One of 60 limited copies printed on Vergé de Hollande-- numbered 56 to 115-- with an extra suite of the 5 etchings by Marc Chagall in the latter portion of the book; this copy is #110. Deckling to all text block edges. Illustrated with five full page etchings by Chagall throughout the text with duplicate copies of the plates bound at the end; all the etchings have the original tissue guards. The blue jacket has faded quite a bit and is more of a buff colour and has some water stains on the back panel and to the spine in spots. Some transfer from the inner folds of the jacket is apparent on the ffep although it is quite faint. Internally clean and an attractive copy overall. Limited to a printing of 960 copies in total with 60 of those on Vergé de Hollande of which this copy is one. In 1923 Marc Chagall moved to Paris and received several commissions for visual narratives including this story by Marcel Arland. The text is comprised of a short story told in reverse beginning with the death of a young girl's illegitimate baby and ending with the first night she and her lover spend together. The girl is vilified by her neighbors and Chagall's first image shows her being taken away by the police as a crowd yells and shames her. Another plate shows the girl giving birth alone in her backyard among the chickens and empty crates. Due to the popularity of Chagall's prints many copies of this book were split apart and the etchings were sold individually. This is a complete and clean copy. 1926 Au Sans Pareil paperback
