Details:

"Eve incurs God's displeasure", 1960

 
Chagall created a touching work with this original graphic. It depicts Eve, naked, and exposed as a consequence of her guilt. The way she holds her right arm, her eyes cast down and her face blushed in embarassment convey something of the sense of guilt she is tormented by. However, God hasn't abandoned her. In the upper left-hand corner of the work, we can see the Hebrew tetragrammaton JHWH, the letters of God's name Jahwe, "I am here for you". This is how one could translate the name, and the friendly, paternal character of God's messenger in the upper right-hand corner of the graphic conveys just that. The big tree protecting Eve with its branches reinforces this idea.

Eve's body looks like a dish ready to receive Adam's love, the fertility of which is displayed in their children, Cain and Abel. This implies that Eve becomes the life-giving Mother of All. Adam and Eve will shape their future under to the changed conditions.

Remarks: Biblical reference: Gen 3, 16

In 1956, the French art critic and publisher Tériade brought out a special issue of the legendary art magazine Verve, which was exclusively devoted to one of Marc Chagalls major themes: The Bible. For this outstanding issue, Chagall composed 18 full-page colour lithographs and 12 in black and white. For his "Bible I" Marc Chagall focused on characters from the Old Testament such as the Founding Fathers, the Kings, the Prophets and Angels. Four years later, in 1960, the follow-up issue "Illustrations for The Bible" was published, with another 24 gorgeous color lithographs. Since then, vast numbers of reproductions were put in circulation which are anything but original(!) lithographs.
