Marc Chagall (Russian/French, 1887-1985). Printed by Mourlot, Paris. Published by Society of Friends of the National Marc Chagall Biblical Message Museum, Nice, with the angel blind stamp along the top center margin. Signed and dated 1977 lithograph poster depicting a portion of his work "The Song of Songs III" printed to publicize the National Biblical Message Museum in Japan. With text in French and Japanese.Lot Essay:Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal}) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints.Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity"). According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opera.Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern Europe and Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1923.He had two basic reputations, writes Lewis: as a pioneer of modernism and as a major Jewish artist. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk." "When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is."Sight; height: 29 in x width: 19 in. Framed; height: 36 in x width: 25 1/4 in.Condition: No visible tears, creases, or losses. Light undulation throughout. The sheet is slightly toned. There is minute discoloration and foxing along the lower left quadrant and upper left margin. No signs of restoration under UV light. Framed under glass. Not examined out of frame.

Beatrice Wood "Beato" (American, 1893-1998). Rounded conical ceramic pottery vase. Luster glazed stoneware. Decorated with sigils along the interior and exterior. Signed along the underside.Beatrice Wood was heavily involved in the Avant Garde movement in the United States. She founded and edited The Blind Man and Rongwrong magazines in New York City with Marcel Duchamp and Henri-Pierre Roche in 1917. These magazines were originally created to defend Duchamp's famous submission of a urinal under the pseudonym of R. Mutt to the First Exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in April of that same year. She was often characterized as the "Mama of Dada," as she was among the earliest pioneers of the Dada art movement in the U.S. Wood was also the inspiration for the fictional character Rose DeWitt Bukater in James Cameron's hit movie "Titanic" (1997).Height: 5 1/2 in x width: 10 3/4 in.Condition: No visible cracks, chips, or losses. No visible signs of restoration under UV light. Very light wear throughout, particularly along the underside. Throughout the item, there are areas of uneven coloration; however, they appear to be original to the design.

This consists of diagonal lines, …” — Strickland Gibson, Early Oxford Bindings (Oxford: Bibliographical Society, 1903), p. 41.
