Additional Details: This first release exhibition billboard-poster, printed for the Musée Maillol from November 3, 2003, to March 15, 2004, was produced by Galerie Maeght and printed by Imprimerie A. Karcher in Aubervilliers. Despite showing some signs of handling, the poster remains a striking piece of art. The image features the artist above the Opera in Paris, holding a bouquet of flowers. To his left stands a woman in a red dress, and another woman in a pink dress is depicted to the lower right. These posters were used commercially around the city to promote Chagall’s works at Galerie Maeght, making them quite rare. The composition, characteristic of Chagall's work, symbolizes love, beauty, and the joy of life. The Opera signifies the height of artistic achievement, while the women in vibrant dresses represent muses or beloved figures, evoking themes of romance and inspiration. The bouquet of flowers held by the artist underscores the celebration of art and creativity, making this poster a vivid homage to Chagall’s imaginative and emotive world.
