Marc Chagall and the Jewish Theatre

Published in conjunction with the Guggenheim Museum’s 1992 exhibition, this richly illustrated catalogue explores Marc Chagall’s vibrant set and costume designs for the Moscow State Jewish Theater in the 1920s. Essays examine the intersection of Chagall’s art with Jewish identity, modernism, and performance. A rare document of avant-garde creativity under Soviet patronage, the book offers critical insights into Chagall’s aesthetic and ideological commitments during a transformative era.
