ARTIST: MARC CHAGALL (1887-1985) SIZE: 24 1/4 x 39 1/4 in./61.7 x 99.6 cm PRINTER: Imp. Mourlot, Paris DESCRIPTION: Far above the Corniche, in the midst of a midnight blue, a mermaid hovers, clasping and smelling a bouquet of flowers: this is Marc Chagall's dream of Nice, the city of flowers on the Côte d'Azur. Chagall arrived in Paris from Vitebsk, Russia in 1910 and soon made a name for himself with his art of surreal and poetic dream-visions. This design was appropriated from a print entitled "The Bay of Angels." (Modern; Travel)
