\u201cThis time art enthusiasts get a unique opportunity to see Chagall\u2019s lesser-known yet no less magnetic work in ceramics and textile, revealing yet another facet of his creativity. The varied selection of ceramic pieces celebrating the incredible the powers of fantasy and the refined tapestry introduce to the audience his experiments in form, texture, and narrative. Just as his legendary paintings and prints, these works invite us to enter his dream universe where folklore, mythologies and personal experience have been woven into a fantastic cloth of images and emotion,\u201d Dr Ar\u016bnas Gel\u016bnas, director general of the LNMA, introduces the landmark event.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A unique opportunity for coastal Lithuanians and vacationers\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

Over 34,000 local and visiting art devotees came to see the exhibition at <\/span>the Applied Arts and Design Museum of the LNMA in Vilnius. From the 9th October, those living in coastal Lithuania and its visitors are offered the art of the legendary artist Marc Chagall on display closer to their home at The Amber Museum in Palanga.\u00a0 The exhibition <\/span>Marc Chagall. Renewal Through the Native Land. Ceramics and Tapestry<\/span><\/i> brings an inspiring artistic experience: a cultural tour of the artist\u2019s world perception, familiarity with his authentic style, and his relationship with his past and his birth place.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition at <\/span>Palanga Amber Museum of the LNMA features eighteen ceramic works, plates, jugs and vases, as well as three tapestries <\/span>based on Chagall\u2019s paintings and executed in the workshop of master weaver Yvette Cauquil-Prince.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The artist has nostalgic memories of his childhood and his native town where he grew surrounded by the Jewish traditions and Yiddish culture. According to Dr Vilma Gradinskait\u0117, curator of the exhibition, the themes of native land, of longing, and of marriage recur in Chagall\u2019s art in complex multilayered images and lure the viewer to step into his world of phantasies and recollections.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn our life there is a single color, as on an artist\u2019s palette, which provides the meaning of our life and art. It is the color of love,\u201d the painter Marc Chagall once said.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Primeval symbolism in Chagall\u2019s ceramic art\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

Born in Vitebsk (the former Russian Empire, present-day Belarus), the artist, with his family, spent almost two decades in Paris, where he studied in different art schools. The Nazi occupation made his family leave France for the USA. He returned to France after the end of World War II and a sudden death of his beloved wife and muse Bella. Having settled in the French Riviera, where the tradition of ancient ceramics was kept alive, the artist tried his hand and discovered himself in one of the old kinds of art. From 1949 through 1972, Chagall produced over 350 ceramic works. At the Madoura\u202fpottery\u202fworkshop\u202fin Vallauris he encountered the Spanish art celebrity Pablo Picasso. Both artists experimented in a variety of techniques, searching for unexpected combinations of burned glazes, making hand-built and thrown vases, plates and reliefs. According to Dr Vilma Gradinskait\u0117, Chagall and Picasso grasped the power of the primeval symbolism of ceramic medium, which uses fire to transform earth, e.g., clay, and imbues it with new shapes and meanings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the mid-1960s, Chagall met <\/span>master weaver Yvette Cauquil-Prince, their creative collaboration was to last for over two decades. <\/span>Cauquil-Prince applied her knowledge and skills to rendering the work by Chagall, Picasso, Max Ernst and other artists in tapestry medium. The exhibition features one of the first tapestries <\/span>Creation<\/span><\/i> woven based on Chagall\u2019s cartoon (1971). After Chagall\u2019s death in 1985 Cauquil-Prince continued weaving tapestries based on his works,\u201d exhibition curator Dr. Vilma Gradinskait\u0117 tells the story of the creative collaboration.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition opening at Wednesday 9 October, 5 pm at the LNMD Palanga Amber Museum will be graced by the presence of the art historian and curator Ambre Gauthier, the son of master-weaver <\/span>Yvette Cauquil-Prince, <\/span>artist Darius <\/span>Hecqas-Cauquilas, as well as ceramics conservators Sandrine and Benoit Coignard.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
