By situating these works within the context of Chagall’s personal background, his experiences as an immigrant, and his lifelong embrace of theatricality, the book will illuminate how these factors shaped his circus imagery. It will further contextualise these images among those of Chagall's peers within European modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile central to Chagall’s art, the circus has never been the sole subject of a comprehensive study. The book also features a new translation of Chagall's essay 'The Circus', first published in French in 1967 but never published in English in its entirety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEXHIBITION SCHEDULE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hepworth Wakefield 21 November 2026 - 25 April 2027\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilhelm-Hack-Museum 7 May - 28 August 2027\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Paul Holberton Publishing\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Holberton Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57394662211928,"sku":"9781917976244","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/marc-chagall-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
