Curatorial context

For the first time since 1956, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is organizing a monographic exhibition of the work of Marc Chagall (1887-1985).

The exhibition delves into how Chagall adapted to his various environments—Vitebsk, Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Paris, and Berlin—and how the avant-gardes he encountered influenced his style, which shows characteristics of surrealism, cubism, and expressionism. The Stedelijk Museum holds one of the most extensive Chagall collections in Western Europe, featuring over 40 works including paintings and large gouaches, and this exhibition aims to shed new light on this significant oeuvre. The exhibition is a collaboration with Centre Pompidou and Grand Palais Rmn, and is curated by Nadia Abdelkaui of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
