Marc Chagall's 63 Works on Paper in Turin Exhibition

exhibition · 2026-05-05

A major exhibition of Marc Chagall's graphic works opens at Galleria Elena Salamon in Turin, featuring 63 original lithographs, etchings, and drypoints spanning 1925 to 1982. The show, running from March 21 to May 21, highlights Chagall's recurring themes of family life, theater, and circus, populated by his signature floating figures. The artist, born in 1887 in Belarus to a Hasidic Jewish family and later naturalized French, once said, 'If I create something using the heart, it will very easily work; if instead I use the head, it will be very difficult.' The works are almost entirely in color and include acrobats, lovers in the sky above city rooftops, and dancing donkeys and cows.
