Description:
In the early 1950s Chagall experimented both with painted ceramics and with small carved marble sculptures such as Pillar (479 × 229 mm, 1953; priv. col., see Haftmann, p. 35), in which animals and human figures appear to be compressed into the block of stone. This work is essentially a bas-relief carved on a freestanding shaped stone. Part of 2017 exhibit, "Chagall, sculptures." (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
