Synopsis* Accompanying text for the exhibition at the Montreal Beaux-Arts Museum, from 28th January to 11th June 2017 and Los Angeles LACMA, from 23th July 2017 to 7th January 2018* Highly illustrated, this book explores a hitherto overlooked topic in Chagall studiesThis book explores the connection between Chagall and music. This intimate relationship, which ran deep in both his family history and the Jewish culture of his native city, was particularly meaningful in Chagall's creations for the stage. His works for the Jewish Theatre (Moscow, 1919-1920) and the ballets 'Aleko' (Mexico, 1942), 'The Firebird' (New York, 1945), 'Daphnis et Chloé' (1958) and 'The Magic Flute' (New York, 1967) celebrate the links he established between music, large-scale set design, and the material design of costumes. Chagall's monumental projects in the 1960s, such as the ceiling of the Paris Opera (1964) and his decorative architectural program for the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center in New York (1966), are a reflection of his notion of 'total art', and his explorations in the universality of music and its translation into the spatial dimension. Music was a constant source of inspiration to Chagall. The subject of his creations, it provided internal rhythm and strength to his compositions, as well as dictating the intensity and ranges of color he used. Offering a fresh approach to iconography, Chagall and Music argues for the intersection of audial and visual art as the mark of Chagall's incessant and brilliant modernity., This exhibition catalogue for a vibrantly colourful, multidisciplinary traveling show explores the profound connection between Chagall and music. As both subject and muse, this omnipresent relationship has its roots in his family history, and in the Jewish culture of his native city, Vitebsk. This lavishly illustrated catalogue explores how music functioned as a central theme and inspiration in Chagall's composition and color, beginning with paintings and sketches in 1911 through the 1960s. Included here are his theatre commissions: the foyer panels for the Jewish Art Theatre (Moscow, 1919-1920), the ceiling of the Paris Opera (1964), and the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center (1966). His designs for the ballet, including Aleko (Mexico, 1942), The Firebird (New York, 1945), Daphnis and Chloe(1958) and The Magic Flute (1967), reveal the underlying synergy in his work between music, set, and costume. A wide selection of paintings, photographs, preparatory sketches, and ceramics (many from private collections) convey the centrality and importance of music and color in Chagall's career. SELLING POINTS: * Highlights the role of music as a creative engine in Chagall's work, and how this was manifested in his art throughout his career, particularly in his use of colour * Includes paintings, gouaches, sketches, maquettes, costume design, stage sets, ceramics, stained glass, and archival photographs of the artist, his family, and installations 580 colour, 20 b/w, - Accompanying text for the exhibition at the Montreal Beaux-Arts Museum, from 28th January to 11th June 2017 and Los Angeles LACMA, from 23th July 2017 to 7th January 2018- Highly illustrated, this book explores a hitherto overlooked topic in Chagall studies This book explores the connection between Chagall and music.
