Das Graphische Werk - The Engraved Work - was written by Swiss art historian Franz Meyer, husband of Marc Chagall's daughter Ida. This reference book on Marc Chagall's graphic work is accompanied here by a dedication to Miss Schacht and a drawing by the artist himself. The dedication is located in Vence, where Marc Chagall settled in the 1950s in the villa Les Collines with his second wife Vava. This period was marked by a return to bright colors and an attraction to joyful subjects.
