Songe d'été illustrates Chagall's extraordinary artistic vision. With a career that spanned most of the 20th century, he managed to create his own fantastical visual language, as the artist explained: 'for me the picture is a surface covered with representations of things (objects, animals, human beings) in certain order in which logic and illustration have no importance. The visual effect of the composition is what is paramount'.

This piece is in excellent condition. Made on high quality archival paper. This Marc Chagall artwork has never been framed and has been kept in archival storage.

OFFSET LITHOGRAPHY

Offset Lithography is a planographic photomechanical printing technique that combines lithography, photography, and offset printing. It is based on the repulsion of oil and water. During this printing process an inked plate bearing an image or text is printed onto a rubber blanket before being transferred (or offset) to its final substrate. The flexible rubber blanket allows for printing on a variety of surfaces including paper, wood, metal, cloth, and leather. It can be used both as a reproductive process and to print original work. Prints can include text, line work, large areas of ink, and halftone images. Offset lithography can also reproduce images originating from other processes such as relief and intaglio. There is no visual distinction between an offset lithograph and a transfer lithograph aside from date or context.
