A rare opportunity to view famed artist Marc Chagall at work in his studio creating two extraordinary pieces of monumental art in mosaic and stained glass – the Four Seasons, Chagall’s large and magnificent free-standing mosaic, and The America Windows, the artist’s glorious stained glass tribute to America installed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
The films not only provide an unusually intimate view of the artist at work, but chronicles the collaborative relationship between artist and artisan in bringing Chagall’s vision to life.
