Chagall at the "Met"

New York: Metropolitan Opera Association Inc. / Tudor Publishing Company, 1971.
First Edition. Hardcover.

A monograph on work of Mark Chagall (1887-1985) commissioned by the New York Metropolitan Opera in Lincoln City in 1966-1967. Chagall painted two massive murals for the opera house foyer in 1966 – “The Sources of Music” and “The Triumphs of Music.” These murals are discussed and reproduced in full and in detail. Also featured here are designs for décor and costumes for a 1967 Metropolitan Opera production of Mozart’s “The Magic Flute.” Sir Rudolf Bing describes the collaboration of the Opera and Chagall in his introduction; in Emily Genauer's accompanying text, she describes the artist and his creations for the opera in detail; Irving Kolodin gives an outline of the plot of Die Zauberflote; and Marc Chagall describes his creative process in his dedication speech. All is illustrated in vivid color.
