Marc Chagall, Mutter und sohn, etching with drypoint, from "Mein Leben", 45x36 cm (image 27,8x21,8 cm), 1923

Etching with drypoint from the suite "Mein Leben", realized in 1922 and published in 1923.

Known as a Parisian artist, Marc Chagall always maintained an interest in his Russian origins and his Jewish heritage. After working and exhibiting in Paris from 1910 to 1914, Chagall returned to Russia, where he remained until 1922. There he formed friendships with Russian avant-garde poets and painters and worked toward creating a modern Jewish art through his journal illustrations, children's books, and designs for the Jewish State Theater. Chagall was introduced to printmaking in Berlin in 1922. He had arrived there with an autobiographical manuscript he had been working on since 1911. The gallerist Paul Cassirer saw the text and decided to publish it included some etchings. Drawing on vivid childhood memories of village life in Vitebsk, the artist depicted himself, his wife and child, his parents, his childhood home, local figures such as the teacher, and events that had taken place there.

The artwork is hand signed from the artist and numbered 103/110, published on Kornfeld.
