“Chagall: Fantasies for the Stage” opens this month at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The exhibition highlights the principal role that music and dance played in Marc Chagall’s artistic practice, and the screen behind Chagall in this Karsh portrait includes some of the imagery found in his designs for stage work.

The exhibition at LACMA’s Resnick Pavilion opens July 31, 2017, and runs through January 7, 2018.

Marc Chagall was photographed by Yousuf Karsh in France, in 1965.
