Created in 1969 this original lithograph by Marc Chagall embodies all the qualities Chagall is so well known for in his paintings.

This work truly pays tribute to this twentieth century master as the title implies-“Homage to Chagall.” It seems the smiling face of a pink goat in this work may be the face of the artist himself, smiling with approval and deep satisfaction. This lithograph was specially created for a special issue of XX Siecle, a French art review, celebrating and revering Chagall.
