Weekly Photo Challenge: Prolific
My choice this week is to highlight an artist who was indeed highly prolific. Marc Chagall lived a long life (1887 – 1985) and his entry in wikipedia is huge. He not only produced lots of paintings but his work extends to a quite astonishing number of different media. And a great deal of it is displayed for all to see, not just squirrelled away by collectors, or hidden in the vaults of museums.
This is the ceiling of the Paris Opera (Palais Garnier) commissioned in 1963.
“The Four Seasons” is a ceramic mosaic on four sides of this huge block of concrete in Chicago.
I made a stitched panorama from one side – its 4535 wide so worth downloading from Flickr. Here are a couple of details
And then there are these stained glass windows at the Art Institute
And we have only lightly touched the surface of his oeuvre.
Bonus – I found another from our trip to Paris in 2012 – this was in the Centre Pompidou

I’ve seen the beautiful windows at the Art Institute, but I’ve never seen or even known about “The Four Seasons.” I’ll have to look for it next time I’m actually in the city.

There is a map on the flickr page of the photo: it’s on Exelon Plaza at South Clark and Madison
