ref. 6849MARC CHAGALL 1887-1985. Marc Chagall born Moishe Shagal was a Russian and French artist of Jewish ancestry. He is known for his artwork that blends surrealism Fauvism and Cubism to depict Jewish folklore and memories of his youth in Vitebsk. He was described by Picasso as having an unparalleled understanding of color and for decades he had been said to be the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist. His most famous works include I and the Village Paris Through the Window and La Marie The Bride.Signed Program. February 11 1967. New Haven Connecticut. A program signed Marc Chagall 1967 for his lecture at Yale University. While Chagall is primarily known as a painter he had a connection to the theater world because of his theatrical designs. The year prior to this lecture he had completed the murals The Triumph of Music and The Sources of Music for the new Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center. He also designed the sets and costumes for the Mets production of Mozart's The Magic Flute which premiered in February 1967 the same month as his Yale lecture. Given Chagalls contributions to stage design and his mastery of color theory the school invited him to speak about the intersection of fine art stagecraft and the power of color. Chagall usually resided in France this program being rare example of him sharing his artistic philosophy with an American academic audience. This program is under a reproduction of his painting I and the Village. The program is professionally framed and in very fine condition. unknown books

In the aftermath of the confiscation of nearly 20000 art works from German museums Adolph Hitler's Ministry of Propaganda organized an exhibition of modern art in order to decry its racially impure deleterious character and supposed backing by Jewish interests in the Weimar era. The exposition was hosted at the Institute of Archaeology in the Hofgarten on July 19 1937 in Munich and later traveled throughout Germany. Organized by the Ministry of Propaganda leader Joseph Goebbels the show was designed to reinforce in the German public mind that subversive decadent or avant-garde art work would not be tolerated in the Third Reich. Attended by over two million visitors the show displayed over 650 confiscated paintings sculptures and prints by 112 artists primarily German including Georg Grosz Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Paul Klee Georg Kolbe Otto Dix Wassily Kandinsky Marc Chagall and many other now-acclaimed modern artists. Targeted artists were the subject of merciless ridicule and denounced with most works displayed unframed and obscured by painted slogans. Attended most famously by Museum of Non-Objective Painting predecessor to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum director Hilla R who supported affected artists like Vasily Kandinsky Rudolf Bauer and others by exhibiting their work in the United States. Many works were destroyed lost or re-homed overseas after the fall of the Third Reich. Laid-in is an antisemitic postcard for the third part of a series of Schandausstellungen or condemnation exhibitions "Der Ewige Jude" The Wandering Jew. The show opened on November 8 1937 to January 31 1938 in Berlin under Joseph Goebbels' direction. The exhibition traveled for the next year and a half attracting over 700000 visitors and concluding in March 1939 in Magdeburg. Verlag fur Kultur- und Wirtschaftswerbung unknown books
