Chagall: The backdrops for the ballet Aleko
Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is one of the 20th century’s most well-known painters. In 1942, he created backdrops for the ballet Aleko in the United States, the country he fled to in order to escape the Nazi regime. The Aomori Art Museum possesses three of the four backdrops created for the ballet in its collection. Each backdrop is approximately 9 meters tall and 15 meters wide. Chagall’s passion for color bursts from the huge canvases.
