Windows, Art Institute of Chicago Marc Chagalls
America Windows were a gift to the Art Institute
of Chicago created by the artist for their
specific context. Long a favorite of visitors,
the searingly blue light creates a powerful
background for the moments and events that occur
across the piece. The windows popularity was
only boosted by their use as the scene of the
kiss in Ferris Buellers Day Off, itself a
Chicago cult piece

The Chagall windows in All Saints Church at
Tudeley (Kent, UK) were commissioned by Sir Henry
and Lady d'Avigdor-Goldsmid in memory of Sarah
d'Avigdor-Goldsmid, their daughter who died in
1963 at the tragically early age of 21, in a
sailing accident off Rye. Sarah
d'Avigdor-Goldsmid and her mother had visited the
1961 Louvre exhibition of Chagall's work. The
centrepiece of the exhibition were the windows
designed for the synagogue of the Hadassah
Medical Centre in Jerusalem, depicting the Twelve
Tribes of Israel. It was the memory of her
daughter's love of these windows that led Sir
Henry and Lady d'Avigdor-Goldsmid to commission
Chagall to design windows for All Saints Tudeley.

Marc Chagall was a French-Russian artist whose
work anticipated the dream-like imagery of
Surrealism. Over the course of his career Chagall
developed the poetic, amorphous, and deeply
personal visual language. Born Moishe Shagal on
July 7, 1887 in Vitebsk, Russia (present-day
Belarus) to a Hasidic Jewish family, the artist
was raised immersed in Jewish culture and
iconography. Studying under the artist Yehuda Pen
as a youth, the Judaic traditions and folklore of
his hometown permeated Chagalls paintings. After
studying in St. Petersburg, the artist moved to
Paris in 1910, where he quickly befriended
members of the French avant-garde, including
Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger. Visiting
Russia in 1914, the artist was prevented from
returning to Paris due to the outbreak of World
War I until 1926. In addition to his paintings,
Chagall was also noted for his vibrant works in
stained glass and lithography. Forced to flee
Paris during World War II, Chagall lived in the
United States and traveled through to Israel
before returning to France in 1948. During the
1960s Chagall continued to travel widely, often
in association with large-scale commissions he
received. Among these were windows for the
synagogue of the Hadassah University Medical
Center, Jerusalem (installed in 1962) a ceiling
for the Paris Opéra (installed in 1964) a window
for the United Nations building, New York
(installed in 1964) murals for the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York (installed in 1967) and
windows for the cathedral in Metz, France
(installed in 1968). An exhibition of the
artists work from 1967 to 1977 was held at the
Musée du Louvre, Paris, in 197778, and a major
retrospective was held at the Philadelphia Museum
of Art in 1985. Chagall died on March 28, 1985,
in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. Today, his works
are held in the collections of The Museum of
Modern Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in
London, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the
Albertina in Vienna, among others
