A Little Marc Chagall

Well, not so little, really. This mural is several stories high, displayed behind glass at the Metropolitan Opera house in Lincoln Center, NYC. This one is "The Sources of Music".

Usually it is behind a curtain during daylight, so as not to fade from sunlight, and it is spotlit at night. But today it was on display for some sort of re-opening event although there was bunting and a projection screen adjacent, preventing a full view. Here's a few hundred square feet of it, enough to see some of the elaborate detail, plus a reflection of Broadway. There is much more to see.

Here is an excellent overview of the Chagall experience at Lincoln Center.
- from 2017 as the Metropolitan Opera was celebrating it's 25th Anniversary.

The NYC Met Opera's 50th Anniversary and Murals of Marc Chagall: Art Imitating Life - Untapped New York

Today, Opera finds in a similar forced era of transformation just as artist Marc Chagall was when he was commissioned to paint his murals for Lincoln Center in 1966.
