Marc Chagall (1887-1985), Peintre de profil. The signature 'Chagall' (lower right) Gouache on paper. Formerly from the Artist's Estate.

These dreamlike scenes reveal the full scope of his artistic ingenuity. They display chagall’s incomparable ability to evoke profound memories and to suggest mystical connections between things. Through a poetic juxtaposition of personal symbols, Chagall would often entwine the motifs of flowers and lovers in his art, depicting resplendent alongside tenderly embracing couples. More than still life, flowers, although themselves intrinsically ephemeral, embodied a profoundly moving gesture of love’s timeless power transcend the everyday.
