Notes: Marc Chagall, The Jerusalem Windows Book, Text and Notes by Jean Leymarie, Translated from French by Elaine Desautels. George Braziller, NY 1975. 98 pages - in English - Introduction by Jean Leymarie - The reproductions of twelve stained-glass windows, installed in the synagogue of the Hadassah-Hebrew Medical Center in Jerusalem, are preceded by a text telling the story of the 12 tribes, and by sets of drawings (pencil, pen, India ink, watercolor, gouache and collages), whose dimensions and order of presentations are the same in the sequence of each of the 12 tribes - It reflects Chagall's (1887-1985) sight of the poetry and faith inherent in the biblical texts, inspiration for these luminous translucent paintings. Soft cover, In good condition, slight signs of aging, and slightly creased spine.
