Greeting Card for 1974 1971 - 1974

This is Marc Chagall’s "Greeting Card for 1974," and I love how it's like a little burst of joy on paper. Imagine Chagall making this, probably with lithography, maybe even etching – the black lines so sure, dancing around the shapes. Look at the sun, that yellow circle, and the woman with the necklace, almost floating. What might Chagall have been thinking? Maybe he was thinking about love, about dreams, about how colours can sing. The reds pop, the greens whisper. It feels like a memory, something precious, something Chagall wanted to share. It reminds me of other artists who aren't afraid to be tender, like Bonnard or even Matisse in his paper cut-out phase. They’re all talking to each other across time, you know? Artists always are. Painting, printing - it’s all about feeling, isn’t it? It's a hello, an embrace, a wish for a good year.
