Chagall’s Dead Souls: A Satirical Account of Imperialist Russia
June 7 - Sept 8, 2024
When the satirical words of Russia-based, Ukrainian playwright and novelist Nikolai Gogol, and the surrealist, folkloric imagery of France-based Belarusian artist Marc Chagall met on the pages of an illustrated version of the former’s celebrated book, ‘Dead Souls’, the magical pairing was undeniable. The tragedy and humor of existence in 19th-century Imperialist Russia are embodied by the despicable, colorful protagonist of Gogol’s tale, aptly rendered and brought to life by Chagall’s caricature-like etchings. Rarely seen together, all 96 etchings will be exhibited.

This exhibit celebrates and brings deserved visibility to an individual who lived passionately and unapologetically against the grain. Born to Russian Jewish immigrants in 1918, artist-activist Perlin was a talented painter, illustrator, war artist-correspondent, and photographer, who tackled stylistic genres, the horrors of WWII, issues of social justice, and homosexuality with conviction and bravery.
