Selected events

This study for Chagall's momentous Hommage a Apollinaire, painted in 1913, illustrates the story of Adam and Eve, who are depicted in a round form that later evolved into a clock face with the split figure of the poet Apollinaiire in the middle. Chagall presents the beginning of time and the intersections of the art forms of poetry and painting.
