Original lithograph printed in colors on wove paper bearing the ‘Arches’ watermark. Edition of 50 (plus 25 épreuves d’artiste numbered in Roman numerals), numbered in pencil lower left. Published and printed by Atelier Fernand Mourlot, Paris. Sheet size: 73.7 x 56.8 cm (29 x 22 3/8 in) Image size: 59.4 x 48.9 cm (23 3/8 x 19 1/4 in)// The Circus with the Angel is one of Chagall's most enchanting circus-themed lithographs, a subject that occupied him throughout his career as a metaphor for the wonder and precariousness of human existence. A luminous yellow angel hovers above the circus ring, its outstretched wings casting a benediction over acrobats, musicians, and dreamlike figures rendered in Chagall's signature palette of blue-green, pink, red, and gold. The arched composition echoes the big top itself, drawing the viewer into a world where gravity is suspended and the boundary between the sacred and the theatrical dissolves. Printed on wove paper bearing the Arches watermark in an edition of fifty plus twenty-five épreuves d'artiste, this is a major example of Chagall's lithographic mastery at its most poetically inventive.

What is Surrealism?
Artwork by Rene Magritte

What is Surrealism?

Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
