- Note: This was part of a portfolio entitled “Regards sur Paris” (Gerard Bauer and various authors). Ten writers - all members of the Academie Goncourt - contributed essays to this book presenting the different sights and scenes of Paris. Each text is illustrated by a different artist with 2 full page and 1 double page Lithograph. Chagall’s contributions were:La Place de la Concorde (This present example) , Le Bateau Mouche au bouquet, Quai de la Tourelle.The work offered here is in many ways typical of Chagall’s oeuvre. Behind the brilliant colours are figures flying in the air reminiscent of farmyard scenes from his native Russia. “Paris, my heart’s reflection, I would like to blend with it, not to be alone with myself.”“I whiled away my days at the Place de la Concorde or round the Jardin du Luxembourg, plucking leaves and looking at Danton and Watteau. Oh! If only, astride the stone chimera of Notre Dame, I could forge a pathway across the heavens. Paris, to me you are a second Vitebsk!” –Marc Chagall
