Marc Chagall
artist
Russian-born painter, naturalised French
The collaboration
Fascinated by the mysterious “chemistry” of glass and fire, Chagall begins to work with Egidio in 1954. Together they take up the themes of love, in the Wedded Couple Amphora; of nature, in the Peasant Landscape; of religion, in the King David or Lovers.
In glass Chagall’s figures and landscapes keep their line, but they expand into space and change with the light that passes through them.
