Marc Chagall (1887-1985) - Fiances of the Eiffel Tower (1939)
France Stamp Issued 1963
France has issued a large number of art based stamps, and this is one of the earliest releases for a modern 20th Century artist.
Russian-French Artist Marc Chagall has been described by Robert Hughes as the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th Century and the last surviving pioneer of the modernist movement.
This painting is one of Chagall's dream like works, with an almost surreal quality. The artists lived a long life, creating a prolific variety of work.
