Marc Chagall Bible Series Naomi and her Daughters in Law



Much like Salvador Dali, many of Marc Chagalls finest prints were
created at Mourlot in Paris.

Naomi and her Daughters-in-Law
14 1/8" x 10 3/8"

Original color lithograph
Printed 1960

"And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband."

Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s,
"Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".

Chagall spent eight years etching the plates for The Bible Series.

The copper plates were subsequently given to the Musee National Message Biblique in Nice by Marc and Vava Chagall.
Meyer Schapiro, noted art historian, made the observation that Chagall was the ideal artist to have undertaken the task.
