Author: Chagall, Marc

The celebrated artist Marc Chagall began illustrating the Bible in 1931, and it became his lifelong passion. Originally published in France, this extraordinary volume includes more than 130 of his finest works paired with three familiar books from the Old Testament. Chagall's evocative illustrations reflect his Jewish heritage and his view of the complex relationship between God and humanity, presaging many of the subjects and themes in his later work. 440 pp.
