Marc Chagall.Materials

Beyond painting, Chagall explored printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, stained glass, tapestry and theatre, developing a close creative partnership with the craftspeople who worked alongside him. He delved deeply into the many possibilities that connect the artist with the collective intangible heritage of a culture and a place.

Through more than 200 works and documents, this exhibition reveals how materials, techniques and collaborations nourished his imagination and transformed his creative practice. In dialogue with the collections of the museums of the City of Mons and a selection of contemporary works by BeCraft, it offers a fresh perspective on Chagall’s world and on the transmission of craftsmanship and know-how through time.

In partnership with the Marc and Ida Chagall Archives.
