Inspiration is a fitting title for a work that seems to capture the very moment of creative awakening — a theme close to Chagall’s heart throughout his long career. Suffused with the lyrical energy and symbolic richness that define his graphic work, this lithograph from the Mourlot Lithographe II portfolio reflects Chagall’s belief in art as an act of pure imaginative freedom. Printed by Fernand Mourlot in 1963, it is a quietly powerful and deeply personal work.
