Chagall et la Bible 1962

This 1962 original exhibition poster, designed by Marc Chagall, was created for the landmark exhibition "Chagall et la Bible" at the Musée Rath in Geneva. The exhibition was dedicated to Chagall’s deep and lifelong engagement with biblical themes, showcasing his masterful ability to merge spirituality, symbolism, and dreamlike imagery into a uniquely modern artistic language.

Chagall, a defining figure of 20th-century modern art, was known for his poetic and deeply personal style, blending elements of Cubism, Fauvism, and Surrealism while remaining true to his own artistic vision. His biblical works, infused with vibrant colors, floating figures, and a profound sense of mysticism, reflect both his Jewish heritage and his broader exploration of universal spiritual themes.

The Musée Rath, one of Switzerland’s most prestigious art institutions, was an ideal venue for this exhibition, highlighting Chagall’s Biblical Message, a project he worked on for decades. The show featured his etchings, lithographs, and paintings, many of which would later be housed in the Musée National Marc Chagall in Nice, dedicated to his biblical works.

This vintage exhibition poster is an important collectible for admirers of Chagall’s work, religious iconography in modern art, and rare European exhibition posters. It serves as a testament to Chagall’s unique ability to transcend time and tradition, weaving spirituality and human experience into a deeply moving visual language.
