Extraordinary Bright And Fresh Colors    Description:Offering a superb example of Chagall's work, this piece captures a sense of romance and poetry through the artist's use of imagery and color. The color saturation of this work, makes it one of his most desirable images, and this series Nice and the Cote d'Azur is one of his most celebrated sets of images. Created in 1967, this work is from the Nice and the Côte d'Azur series of twelve lithographs. From an edition of 150 proofs, signed and numbered, this work was printed on Arches wove paper. Hand signed by Marc Chagall (1887 - 1985) in pencil in the lower right margin, this work is numbered 4/150 in the lower left. Jean Adhémar stated of this series, "It is well known, and especially evident in this work, that the Mediterranean awakens in Chagall a sensation of well-being and plenitude just as the bright sun and flowers awaken in him a sense of freedom…Above all, there are the midday sun and the brilliancy of his flowers. They explain the richness of tones in these lithographs, the beauty and harmony of the colors, the deep blue, the somber vividness of the reds, the haunting garland of flowers." (Sorlier 220) This work illustrates the dream-like quality of Chagall's work, with the floating Sirene and poet hovering above the coastal scene in rich tones of reds, blues and greens.
