MARC CHAGALL L'ame du Cirque, 1981

"L'âme du Cirque" is a double-page offset lithograph from Derrière Le Miroir, No. 246, published in 1981 by Maeght, Paris. This first release lithograph appears on pages 4 and 5, Plate 3, with a fold line down the center as issued. The artwork captures the soul of the circus, a recurring theme in Chagall’s work, filled with vibrant figures and dreamlike compositions. Chagall often used the circus as a metaphor for the human condition, blending whimsy and melancholy.
