It includes 127 drawings, five ceramics and seven sculptures by Marc Chagall (1887-1985) around three themes: preparatory sketches for the costumes and curtain for “The Firebird” ballet by Igor Stravinsky, sketches and models for the ceiling frescoes in the Opera House commissioned from the artist in 1962, and a set of ceramics, collages and sculptures created from the 1950s to the early 70s. These mature works are representative of Marc Chagall’s activity post-World War II and demonstrate his investment in many projects and commissions that diversified his artistic practice.
