A luminous original stone lithograph by Marc Chagall, published in Derrière Le Miroir No. 256 by Maeght Éditeur, Paris. This unsigned edition exemplifies the intimate collaboration between Chagall and the legendary Galerie Maeght — one of the most significant artist-publisher relationships of the twentieth century.
Derrière Le Miroir ("Behind the Mirror") was founded in 1946 by Aimé Maeght as a deluxe artist periodical, produced in close partnership with the artists themselves. Each issue was conceived as a total work of art — original lithographs printed directly from stone, integrated with poetry and critical essays. Contributors over its four-decade run included Miró, Giacometti, Calder, Braque, and Chagall, making DLM one of the most coveted print portfolios of the modern era.
Chagall's contribution to this issue, The Painter and His Double, reflects his enduring preoccupation with the artist's inner world — the duality between creator and creation, reality and reverie. His signature palette of cobalt, rose, and gold animates a dreamlike composition rooted in the Fauvist and Surrealist traditions he helped define.
