Catalogue Essay
This large and layered lithograph was created from a detail taken from the upper left corner The Triumph of Music, the monumental mural Chagall had painted for the south wall of the Metropolitan Opera House in Lincoln Center Plaza in 1966. The male figure in the middle is Rudolf Bing, the director of the New York Opera and sponsor of the printing.
