MARC CHAGALL The Yellow Background, 1969

This original exhibition poster was created for Marc Chagall’s solo show at Galerie Maeght in Paris, held from December 1969 to January 1970. Published by Maeght, it is catalogued as Sorlier 56 in Chagall’s Posters – A Catalogue Raisonné (1975), confirming its authenticity and importance within the artist’s graphic oeuvre.

The lithographic design beautifully reflects Chagall’s poetic visual language: floating figures, radiant color, and dreamlike movement converge into a composition that feels both intimate and exuberant. The bright yellow ground and expressive linework capture the joy and imagination that distinguish Chagall’s late period.

As an original poster from one of Chagall’s most respected gallery partnerships, this piece holds historical, artistic, and collectible significance. Galerie Maeght played a pivotal role in promoting Europe’s leading modernists, and posters from its exhibitions remain highly sought after by collectors of Chagall, Maeght publications, and 20th-century graphic art.

A striking and meaningful addition to any Chagall or modern art collection.
