    THE GARDEN

     

    The garden, the moon

    In the evening, and you

    Tale. Candy

    From reseda

     

    A kiss

    thousand kisses

    Or spurned

     

    Sorrow. Candy

    He loves the evening

    A garden scent

    From reseda

     

    Throughout his life, Marc Chagall composed poems but rarely recorded them on paper. In "Poemes," the artist first published early works such as 'The Garden' (1909) together with many others written between 1930 and 1964. The poems are presented here adjacent elaborate woodcuts pulled by master printer Jamie Herrera at L’Atelier Lacourière et Frélaut in Paris.
