''I don't know of any artist whose work is poetry with so much ease and happiness'' writes Mandiargues. Which invites us here to find in the most recent paintings all the fabulous characters who were born from Chagall's palette: angels, lovers, acrobats, violinists who descend from clouds and horses who offer bouquets. If the marvelous still exists today, it is primarily to Chagall that we owe it''. Provenance: Alain Carrier's library; eminent poster artist and illustrator.
