The exhibition with my participation “Chagall. La Bible” can be viewed at the NCSM (47 Nezavisimosti Ave.) from July 10 to August 28.
The works of our world-famous compatriot are rarely exhibited in Belarus, and few museums have original works by Marc Chagall in their collections. The exhibition includes 64 works in the technique of lithography, illustrating the events of the Old Testament.
Chagall’s illustrations of the Bible occupy one of the most important places in his work. Especially for the creation of this series of works, the artist mastered this technique. The master began to create them in the 1930s, and finished after the Second World War. The extensive series, released after many years of painstaking work, demonstrated the artist’s truly unique vision of the Bible. Chagall’s works fully convey the wisdom and greatness of the Holy Scriptures. Twenty-four works from the “Windows of Jerusalem” series, also included in the exhibition, are sketches of stained glass windows for the synagogue at the hospital in Jerusalem.
The works are accompanied by biblical texts describing each specific plot – this will allow you to gain an in-depth understanding of the display of biblical plots in the works of Marc Chagall.
The exhibition traditionally presents the works of Belarusian authors, whose work will complement the main exposition.
The exhibition project “Chagall. La Bible” is working:
12.00-20.00, Tuesday-Sunday;
Day off: Monday
