Information about the work:
The Psalms of David occupy a singular place in Marc Chagall’s oeuvre, as the natural culmination of a lifetime traversed by Biblical spirituality and Jewish memory. Throughout his career, Chagall drew endlessly on sacred texts—from the Bible lithographed with Tériade to the Jerusalem windows—and the Psalms, with their ardent lyricism and their constant tension between lamentation and praise, resonated deeply with his most intimate sensibility.
This series devoted to this fundamental text is distinguished by an economy of means put at the service of maximal intensity: floating figures, musicians, lovers and angels dissolve into an inner light that goes beyond anecdote to reach the universal. The black and ochre, the favored palette of these graphic works, establish a collected gravity, far from the festive colors that made Chagall famous—as if the subject itself imposed its own silence.
Rare and particularly sought-after by discerning collectors, the works from this cycle rank among the most accomplished expressions of the artist’s maturity. They attest to that uninterrupted dialogue between faith, memory and creation that Chagall was probably one of the few twentieth-century artists to maintain with such consistency over nearly nine decades of work.
