Ch. and numbered out of the plate, and signed on the plate too - From The Bible (plate 38) - Published by Tériade Editeur, Paris - Literature: Cramer books 30 / Sorlier 236 // Marc Chagall's Le Veau d'or (The Golden Calf), created in 1958, is a limited edition etching and aquatint that features hand coloring on Arches paper. This piece, part of Chagall's Bible series (plate 38), illustrates the biblical story of the Israelites worshiping the golden calf. The composition is filled with expressive figures, their arms raised in fervor, surrounding the central figure of the calf. Chagall uses his signature fantastical style, blending human figures with animal forms and vibrant patches of color, which draw the viewer's eye and amplify the drama of the scene.

What is avant-garde?

Avant-garde refers to innovative and experimental ideas in the arts that challenge established norms and conventions. Originating from the French term for advance guard, it describes both the movement and the artists who push the boundaries of creativity, often exploring new techniques, forms, and concepts. The avant-garde has been a driving force in various art movements throughout history, such as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, continually reshaping the landscape of art and culture.
