Hardcover, cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Illustrated Edition. CHAGALL, Marc [Lassaigne, Jacques, introduction]. The Ceiling of the Paris Opera. New York: Frederick A. Praeger, 1966. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Lithographs. Large quarto. Original cloth in original dust jacket.

The present copy retains all original lithographs, including the frontispiece and the mounted folding "Final Study" affixed inside the rear cover, often lacking in lesser copies. Original dust jacket with minor edge wear only. Chagall's ceiling for the Palais Garnier remains one of the most debated and celebrated artistic interventions in a historic European monument. Commissioned in 1963 by French Minister of Culture André Malraux for the nineteenth-century opera house designed by Charles Garnier, Chagall replaced the original ceiling with a vast modernist composition honoring the great composers of opera and ballet, including Mozart, Wagner, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, and Ravel. Rather than concealing Garnier's architecture, the luminous floating figures and dreamlike color fields were conceived to dialogue with the opulent Second Empire interior, creating a striking union between nineteenth-century architectural grandeur and twentieth-century modern art. Issued to document Chagall's commission for the ceiling of the Paris Opera House (Palais Garnier), with Chagall's remarks delivered at the unveiling, tracing the development of the project from preparatory studies to the completed ceiling. The unveiling generated considerable controversy in Paris at the time, yet the ceiling has since become one of the defining visual features of the Paris Opera House and among Chagall's most recognized monumental works. Additional pictures are gladly provided on request. Book will be carefully wrapped and boxed securely for safe handling during transit, with international shipping available. [Attributes: First Edition; First Printing; Hard Cover; Illustrated; Lithographs; Dust Jacket.]. Chagall, Marc (illustrator).
