Pre-eminent modern artist Marc Chagall was nearly 70 when he began working on his first major stained glass projects, during the mid-to-late 1950's. In 1959, he was commissioned to create a set of stained glass windows for Abbell Synagogue at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem. Upon completion, the Jerusalem Windows enjoyed two short exhibitions in Paris and New York before their permanent installation in the synagogue, in 1962. These twelve masterpieces in stained glass, each representing one of the twelve tribes of Israel, are showcased in this lush folio, which also includes two original lithographs Chagall created exclusively for this publication. Readers may observe the development of the windows through a procession of preparatory sketches in pencil, ink, and watercolor; the final models are represented on full page color plates (36 total). Additional commentary by Jean Leymarie explains the religious significance of each subject, as well as Chagall's artistic intentions. An additional chapter details the assembly of the windows themselves, and the book concludes with a selection of sketches and paintings related to the project.
