Jacobs Ladder by Marc Chagall – 1977 Vintage Poster
In 1977, Marc Chagall (1887–1985), one of the most celebrated modernist artists of the 20th century, created Jacob’s Ladder as part of his long and prolific career that often drew on biblical narratives, dreamlike symbolism, and vivid color palettes. This poster was produced for an exhibition of Chagall’s posters at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Nice, France.
Printed in stone lithography by Imprimerie Mourlot, Paris — Chagall’s favored printer for much of his lithographic work — the poster reflects both the technical excellence and artistic vision characteristic of their collaborations. The composition presents Chagall’s interpretation of the biblical scene of Jacob’s dream, rendered with his signature floating figures, vibrant blues, and ethereal atmosphere.

Original poster for the 1994 Nice Jazz Festival, created by the French artist Razzia. The festival was held at the Arènes de Cimiez, the Roman amphitheatre above Nice that has long served as a cultural venue.
Razzia (b. 1950) is known for his bold graphic style and for producing posters directly from his painted works. Since the 1980s he has been one of the few contemporary artists to maintain the tradition of the artistic poster, working for clients such as Louis Vuitton, Cointreau, and major cultural events. His association with the Nice Jazz Festival produced some of the most recognizable jazz imagery of the period.
This large-format serigraph was printed for the Ville de Nice in connection with the 1994 edition of the festival. It is the first printing, in excellent condition.
