About This Work

La Joie — "The Joy" — is a luminous example of Marc Chagall's late graphic work, produced for Derrière le Miroir No. 246, the celebrated Maeght Éditeur publication that brought together the world's foremost modern artists in limited-edition artist books. Published in Paris in 1981, this offset lithograph captures Chagall's signature dreamlike palette: floating figures, radiant colour, and the poetic warmth that defined his vision across seven decades.

Chagall contributed to Derrière le Miroir across multiple issues from the 1950s through the 1980s, and these publications remain among the most sought-after documents of post-war European modernism. This impression is presented unsigned, consistent with the portfolio format, and arrives custom framed — ready to hang.
