At 5 pm Thursday, 25 April, the Museum of Applied Arts and Design of the LNMA invites to the opening of two new exhibitions. The Chagall Picasso Ernst. Ceramics and Tapestries<\/i> presents ceramic works and tapestries woven based on the works of some of the most influential artists, trend-setters of 20th-century art. The exhibitions will run until 30 September. The exhibition is accompanied by Darius Hecq-Cauquil\u2019s show Reconnection with Origins<\/i>. This exhibition will run until 25 August.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLithuanian art lovers are offered a unique opportunity to see the lesser known yet no less charming creations by Chagall in the field of ceramics and tapestry, thus learning of yet another aspect of his multifaceted creativity. The manifold collection of artworks, from ceramic pieces, conjured up by his amazing phantasy, to his gracious tapestries, abound in his playful experiments with form, texture and narrative. Just like Chagall\u2019s legendary paintings and prints, these pieces invite us into his universe of dreams, where folklore, mythology and personal experience are woven together into a fantastic fabric of images and emotions,\u201d director general of the LNMA Dr Ar\u016bnas Gel\u016bnas is enthusiastic about the coming display.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMarc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst were among those leading artists who defined 20th-century art field. Most viewers are well familiar with their paintings and prints, to a lesser degree, with their ceramic artwork occasionally introduced for the sake of variety into their shows, but the tapestries created based on their works are nearly unseen. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to see these exclusive works by the famous artists,\u201d Vilma Gradinskait\u0117, curator of the exhibition, says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first one in northeastern Europe<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition <\/span>Chagall Picasso Ernst. Ceramics and Tapestries <\/span><\/i>is the first of the kind in Lithuania and in the neighbouring countries. Visitors to the exhibition will have a unique opportunity to see twenty-three ceramic pieces: plaquettes, plates, vases, jugs, and twelve tapestries produced by the master weaver Yvette Cauquil-Prince based on the cartoons by Chagall, Picasso and Ernst.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through their artwork, these artists communicate their ethical and moral values, they seek harmony with nature and evoke nostalgic reminiscences of their childhood. According to the exhibition curator, the works are organized along separate thematic strands: the Bible, war and peace, the native shtetl, the circus, the corrida, and love. \u201cOur life, just like a painter\u2019s palette, has just one colour capable of rendering our life and art meaningful. It is the colour of love,\u201d the artist Marc Chagall believed.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chagall and Picasso: collaborative experiments\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chagall moved to the USA leaving France, occupied by the Nazis. He returned to Europe only following the end of WWII and a sudden death of Bella, his beloved spouse. Having settled in the French Riviera, which had retained the tradition of archaic ceramic art, revived by the avantgarde artists at the turn of the 20th century, he found himself in one of the most ancient branches of art. In roughly over twenty years, from 1949 through 1972, Chagall produced over 350 ceramic pieces.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Working at Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, Chagall frequently encountered one of the most famous Spanish artists, Pablo Picasso. Both artists experimented with different techniques, looking for unexpected colour combinations produced in the firing kiln; they practiced hand building and wheel throwing to make vases, plates, plaquettes. Chagall and Picasso perceived the primeval symbolism of ceramics, when soil, that is, clay, transformed in the fire, assumes new forms and meanings.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chagall\u2019s creative collaboration with the master weaver <\/span>Yvette Cauquil-Prince, starting with their mid-1960s-<\/span>acquaintance<\/span>, continued for over two decades. Cauquil-Prince dedicated her knowledge, skill and talent to translate into textile the works by Chagall, Picasso, Ernst and by other painters. The exhibition, alongside others, features the first tapestries created on the basis of Chagall\u2019s sketches <\/span>Harlequin\u2019s\u2019 Family<\/span><\/i> (1966) and <\/span>Creation<\/span><\/i> (1971). After Chagall\u2019s death in 1985, the master weaver continued to create tapestries based on his artwork.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
