Marc Chagall - Antique Lithograph - Jerusalem Windows: Jacob, 1962

Description: Jacob, 1962Marc Chagall (Russian, 1887-1985) Medium: Color LithographPrinter/Publisher: Mourlot Atelier, ParisDimensions: 10" x 13"Catalogue Raisonné: Cramer Chagall. The Illustrated Books 49“Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.” ~ Genesis 49:20 In 1959, Marc Chagall was commissioned to design the stained-glass windows for the synagogue that was to be part of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center. Marc Chagall’s Tribe of Asher is included in the Jerusalem Window series; often regarded as the most prolific works in Chagall’s long career. The lithographs showcase the beauty and intricacy with which Chagall designed an architectural masterpiece. The accumulation of years of labor, this series portrays Chagall’s passion for religious narration and the inescapable draw that everyone has to his dreamy interpretation of them. Each of the twelve windows would represent one of the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve kin groups of ancient Israel, who are each traditionally descended from one of the twelve sons of Jacob: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. Upon Jacob’s death, the territory of Israel was divided amongst his twelve sons, designating the twelve tribes of Israel. Chagall worked on the project for two years, with the windows ultimately exhibited in Paris, 1961, and at the Museum of Modern Art New York in 1961. In 1962, they were permanently installed in the synagogue.This work was created at the acclaimed Mourlot Atelier, Paris. Founded by Fernand Mourlot, the Atelier is credited in art history with the resurgence of the lithograph and was recognized as the premiere print studio in Paris.
