Marc Chagall Meditation 1960 Jewish Heritage Expressionist Art Print

There is a particular quality of silence that belongs to the winter twilight depicted in this work. A figure in a deep teal coat cradles a sacred red scroll against a landscape of pale, drifted snow in this print. This composition showcases the dreamlike brushwork and emotive color palette characteristic of the artist’s later years.

About Marc Chagall

Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was born in present-day Belarus and worked mainly in France. Chagall’s floating lovers, violinists and village scenes draw on folk tradition and memory. Expressionism, which flourished in early 20th-century Germany and Austria, puts emotion before realism. The original image dates from 1960.

Styling this Marc Chagall print

Blue, red and teal tones give this Marc Chagall print a vibrant character that holds a room. In a study or living room, “Meditation” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. Finish “Meditation” with a slim walnut or black frame: its blue, red and teal palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
