Summary: While living in Berlin, then Paris, from 1922 to 1940, Chagall learned the technique of etching and received lucrative commissions as a book illustrator. From the hundreds of etchings done during these two decades, Compton has paired 79 black-and-white etchings with colorful paintings and preparatory gouaches, allowing comparison of one medium with another. Clear plates and intelligent text add insight to an often neglected segment of Chagall's oeuvre.
