(Mourlot 366-72; Cramer Books 55) Presentation : In 1960, Marc Chagall was asked by the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem to create twelve designs in stained glass for its new synagogue. Inspired by his lifelong study of the Bible, Chagall realised these designs on the theme of Moses' blessing of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. As a result of Judaism's injunction against depicting human beings, the works instead feature animals, flowers, trees and Jewish symbols. Each window design is dominated by a specific colour, contains a blessing. Many considered these windows Chagall's crowning achievement, and the artist himself confessed: 'they have completely transformed my vision, they gave me a great shock, made me reflect. I don't know how I shall paint from now on, but I believe something is taking place.' In 1961, prior to their installation in the synagogue, the twelve windows were exhibited in the Louvre and New York's MoMA, where they had the greatest success. The official dedication ceremony of the newly decorated synagogue took place on 6 February 1962. The present work contains Chagall's sketches and studies for the windows. The colourful lithographs offer an insight into the making of these exceptional works of art and provide the Biblical quotations they were designed to illustrate. More pictures on request.‎
