This lithographic poster after Marc Chagall was executed by Charles Sorlier, under the artist's supervision for the exhibition "Les Peintres Témoins de Leurs Temps". This salon was an annual art exhibition organized by Isis Kischka for the first time in 1951. It would take place at the Gallieria Museum in Paris and would be centered on a new theme every year. This "Salon" was in existence until 1983. Charles Sorlier was the designated craftsman for Marc Chagall at the Mourlot Studio. This images is based on a painting entitled "The Revolution". The central figure is Vladimir Lenin doing a handstand on a table, and in the process, dropping his red flag.

Galerie Filali is pleased to collaborate with our personal friend Galerie Mourlot, New York, to present a collection of rare lithographs from legendary Parisian printing house Atelier Mourlot. Founded in Paris in 1852, Atelier Mourlot has been synonymous with fine art lithography for over 150 years. From 1930, under the direction of the founder’s grandson, Fernand Mourlot, leading artists were invited to the studio to collaborate on traditional limestone lithography. For painters like Chagall, the medium provided an exciting new form of expression.
