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.

Marc Chagall Boaz wakes up and sees Ruth at his feet
Here is an example of an affordable work that was printed from plates created by Chagall.
Boaz wakes up and sees Ruth at his feet
Original color lithograph, 1960. 14 1/8" x 10 3/8"
About Chagall:
Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s,
"Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".
Chagalls biography includes these comments:
"Chagalls ties with the Bible go very deep, his childhood in Russia had a big influence on his works"
Of the Bible, this is what Chagall said, "Ever since my earliest youth, I have been fascinated with the Bible. I have always believed…that it is the greatest source of poetry of all time…I have sought its reflection in life and art. The Bible is life, an echo of nature, and this is the secret I have endeavored to transmit."
He formed a business relationship with French art dealer Ambroise Vollard. This inspired him to begin creating etchings for a series of illustrated books, including Gogol's Dead Souls, the Bible, and the Fables of La Fontaine. These illustrations would eventually come to represent his finest printmaking efforts.

Neptune was the Roman god of water and the sea in Roman mythology and religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. In the Greek-influenced tradition, Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto, each of them presiding over one of the three realms of Heaven, Earth and the Netherigions.
There seems to be confusion as to the title of this work.
The Archives created by Albert Field lists the title as Neptune with Poseiden in parenthasis.
Neptune had power over Sea Water and Fresh water both.
As both characters were worshipped by the Romans/Greeks, it makes
sense that Dali might have referenced both in the same work.
Our price for this work is far below what others are asking.
There are only a few of these on the market.
Call to check availability.

What are the Chances? Salvador Dali
What would you say If I told you that back in 1968, Salvador Dali created a series of limited edition prints that included a work titled: Arise, Barak, and Lead? an image of a dark skinned character rising among a group of people. A leader named Barak? Well, Dali did exactly that.
Here is an image of the work:
This work is hand signed by Dali and limited edition,
and yes you can still buy one.
While original Dali works can sell for millions, these limited edition works
sell in the thousands and average people buy and sell them on a daily basis all
over the globe.
