Apparition at the Circus draws on one of Chagall’s most beloved subjects — the circus — as a stage for the magical and the unexpected. For Chagall, the circus was not merely entertainment but a metaphor for the artist’s own world: a place where the impossible becomes real, where performers defy gravity, and where wonder is the governing principle. Printed by Fernand Mourlot in 1963, this lithograph crackles with theatrical energy and surreal charm.
