Marc Chagall, Die Zauberflote, The Magic Flute
This masterpiece, widely regarded as Marc Chagall's most stunning printed work, captivates viewers with its vibrant colours and evocative imagery, exuding a vitality and dynamism all its own.
Crafted in 1967, this work was born from Chagall's experience designing sets and costumes for a performance of Mozart's The Magic Flute at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. A testament to Chagall's creative genius, it is part of an edition of 3,000 proofs with text printed on poster paper by Mourlot, Paris. The engraving in the lower left corner bears the inscription "d'Apres Marc Chagall - Ch. Sorlier Grav," further affirming its authenticity.
Dazzling in its poetic expression of colour, the artwork mirrors the melodic symphony of The Magic Flute. Each animal bursts with emotion, while the central angelic figure plays the flute with a sense of benevolence, suggesting the enchanting power of music. Cool hues of blue and green envelop the scene, creating a sense of serenity and joy, while accents of yellow and red ground the composition and infuse the forest floor with light. This interplay of restful tones and climactic hues echoes the ebb and flow of Mozart's orchestral arrangements, inviting viewers into a world of dynamic movement and emotion.
The imagery, with its richly saturated colours and fluid lines, transports viewers into a realm where artistry and music converge. Just as Mozart's compositions resonate with life and energy, Chagall's masterpiece breathes with its own vitality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its enchanting beauty.
