Pre-eminent modern artist Marc Chagall was nearly 70 when he began working on his first major stained glass projects during the mid-to-late 1950's. In 1959 he was commissioned to create a set of stained glass windows for Abbell Synagogue at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem. Upon completion the Jerusalem Windows enjoyed two short exhibitions in Paris and New York before their permanent installation in the synagogue in 1962. These twelve masterpieces in stained glass each representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel are showcased in this lush folio which also includes two original lithographs Chagall created exclusively for this publication. Readers may observe the development of the windows through a procession of preparatory sketches in pencil ink and watercolor; the final models are represented on full page color plates 36 total. Additional commentary by Jean Leymarie explains the religious significance of each subject as well as Chagall's artistic intentions. An additional chapter details the assembly of the windows themselves and the book concludes with a selection of sketches and paintings related to the project. George Braziller unknown books

Slim quarto five loose gatherings in original cream paper wrappers uncut and unopened original glassine. $2800.Limited first edition number 405 of only 450 copies of Senghor's lgie des Alizs Elegy for the Trade Winds with an original full-page three-color lithograph by Chagall signed and dated by him in 1974 on the title page. From the collection of Joseph Liverant a fellow Russian Jewish emigr and friend of Chagall.Internationally recognized poet politician and cultural theorist who served as the first president of Senegal Lopold Sdar Senghor avoided the Marxist and anti-Western ideology that had become popular in post-colonial Africa choosing instead to form a close relationship with France and the Western world. He was instrumental in the cultivation of postcolonial aesthetics and black African consciousness. His poetry reflects an ""all-embracing humanism which envisions the solidarity of all men with each nation making its contribution in its own special way to a 'universal civilization"" Albert S. Gerard. Critics continually point to his ability to synthesize elements of Western and African experience and to evoke universality in the imagery of his verse. ""Senghor is not merely a Frenchified African who tries to give exotic interest to his French poems; he is an African who uses the French language to express his African soul"" Ulli Beier. Chagall's wonderful illustration was printed by Fernand Mourlot who ran a lithography press in Paris where such greats as Braque Matisse Picasso Mir Lger and of course Chagall came to have their designs printed and to learn about this still nascent medium.

1950réf. 1203221950. First Edition. CHAGALL Marc. Verve. Contes de Boccace. Paris: ditions de la Revue Verve 1950. Folio original lithographic dust jacket over boards. $1500.First edition of this exceptional volume of 26 Chagall heliogravures accompanied by 26 tipped-in color prints from a medieval miniaturist.The art critic Stratis Eleftheriades under the nom de plume Triade published the art journal Verve in Paris from 1937 to 1960. He commissioned famous artists of the day from Matisse to Picasso and Chagall to provide works for the journal with numerous lithographs appearing for the first time in his publications. This volume is particularly notable for the unusual medium for Chagall used: ""New washed drawings in India ink which are quite unrelated to anything he had done before. Using black diluted in every possible degree from onyx to the palest shade of gray he produced sheets that give an intensely colorful effectÉ These drawingsÉ were a response to what he saw in his new environment and stemmed from the urge to render in a spontaneous fashion the overwhelming impact of the profusion and light. They also reveal paradoxically the increased importance of color as a medium of expression. In these drawings 'light' does not signify a diminution of the colorfulness but an advance into the zone from which it springs. One might say that the heart of the color is light and from this light Chagall created the colorfulness of his sheets. What this means is visibly demonstrated by the drawings he did at Triade's suggestion for the number of Verve dedicated to Boccaccio's Decameron. What Chagall produced was a present-day counterpart to colored reproductions of the miniatures in a fifteenth-century manuscript of Boccaccio's work. For each of his drawings he drew inspiration from the miniature of the same scene and the old and new illustrations are reproduced side by side in the pages of Verve. In Chagall however everything attains a new meaning. A new logic links the objects of the anecdotic 'tale' and the plot of the love story gives rise to ardent desire and serene joy. What is more in Chagall's large black-and-white plates the light radiates in a far richer modulation of color than the full coloring of the miniaturist's precise magic-lantern pictures"" Meyer 499.

Assembled in a single folio volume with the three original lithographic front covers bound in.""Fifty years ago in Paris the magazine to look for was Verve which first came out in December 1937 and kept going in one form or another till 1960. That first cover by Henri Matisse sang out from the other side of the street in a way that made us run across the road to look at it more closely. And when we turned its pages Verve had a bosomy full-fleshed slightly slithery quality that this former subscriber would know in his sleep"" John Russell. Art critic Efstratios Eleftheriades under the nom de plume ""Triade"" founded Verve with the financial assistance of David Smart publisher of Esquire. ""The magazine a quarterly review of arts and letters was lavish in design and challenging in content. Teriade's view of the world of art and literature was personal bold and compelling"" Rick Gagliano.

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 books
