Modernist Belarussian-Russian-French artist Marc Chagall's world was a colorful and imaginative one. He worked with many mediums, including oils, woodcut prints and etching. In the late 1940s, however, the color lithograph became one of his favorite art forms and he became renowned for his use of layered colors, a technique that allowed him to pursue and hone his vibrant style.
Exhibited for the first time in this show of nearly 100 works is the lithograph "Carmen," which was inspired by Georges Bizet's opera; May 17-July 13.
