The base for this publication was laid on November 15th of the year 1956 at Vence (Cote d'Azur) where Mare Chagall lithographed an illustration for Bernard Majoricks' essay, The Clocks of Chagall, on one of our stones. The printing of this drawing in lithography and the printing of the text in offset was finished in our printing-works on December 21st of the same year. The typographic appearance came from Otto Treumann. This text has been composed from intertype matrices of Typefoundry 'Amsterdam': series 'De Roos'. 'I wanted to emphasize the wording of this essay by a Dutch author with a drawing', declared Chagall, when he handed the work of art, printed in this booklet, to Mr. Brattinga Jr., 'as a respectful tribute to Her Majesty, your Queen Juliana, whose desire for peace is also mine'.

MARC CHAGALL (1897-1985) Russian-Jewish painter is recognized as one of the most significant painters and graphic artists of his time. Chagall painted in a style all his own, combining elements of Expressionism, Symbolism, Cubism and, to a lesser degree, other Modernist art movements. His works combine recollection with folklore and fantasy. A prolific and multi-faceted artist, Chagall left behind him thousands of works in many different techniques and media that have established him as one of the foremost artists of the 20th Century.
