Very good copy of this original litograph cover, particularly finely drawn colour lithograph not numbered, but dated and signed mm 380 x 556 leaf, paper image mm 280x380, by Marc Chagall from “Derrière le Miroir” 1972. Chagall’s style has been described as a hybrid of Cubism, Fauvism, and Symbolism, and his supernatural subjects are thought to have significantly influenced the Surrealists. He arrived in Paris in 1910 and began experimenting with Cubism, befriending painters Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger. As in many of his lithographs, Chagall accompanies the subjects, often lovers or the spectacle of the crazy world of the circus (that Chagall loved during his whole lifetime), with organic forms such as flowers and twigs or better animals. His individual way to use deep black lines contrasted with soft colours, enriched the scenes that are enlightened with the right degree of color full of joy and dynamics.
