| description | In the summer of 1961, Marc Chagall exhibited in Paris twelve stained glass windows designed for the four walls of the Hadassah Medical Center synagogue in Jerusalem. The majority of these twelve stained glass windows were then exhibited in New York in the autumn of the same year, before the completion of the entire cycle, inaugurated in Jerusalem in February 1962. At this period of his career, Chagall had already achieved two stained glass windows for Assy (1956-1957), and in 1958 he began his fruitful collaboration with Charles Marq for the realization of the stained glass windows of the Metz cathedral, which will keep him busy until 1968. In this article, Chagall's singularity of exhibiting stained glass in art museums is considered. Indeed, this singularity is doubly significant: by their monumental nature, the stained glass windows are not objects of temporary exhibitions; by their vocation to decorate a place of worship, a semantic modification takes place around the object, from the moment it is displayed in museums. It is this semantic modification that is being discussed here, and its consequences on the reception of the artist and his works. |
