“Sketching Light: Chagall’s Windows for Union Church” is a rare opportunity for to explore the creative process of renowned artist Marc Chagall (1887-1985).
In the 1960s, Chagall was commissioned by the Rockefeller family to create a large stained-glass window in memory of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as well as 8 smaller windows, for Union Church of Pocantico Hills.
Sketching Light features 27 mixed media works on paper from Chagall’s preparatory studies for the project. These works, acquired by David Rockefeller in 1975, will be on public display for the first time since 1978.
Chagall’s first ideas for each window are roughly laid out in pencil or ink sketches. In successive iterations, he adds color with paint, pastel, and collage to create a multi-media maquette.
One of the most renowned modernists of the 20th century, Chagall produced 10,000 works during his 75-year career. Although primarily known as a painter, the artist worked in a wide variety of materials and techniques, devoting himself to stained glass during the final decades of his career. Union Church was Marc Chagall’s first stained glass commission in the United States and remains the only church with Chagall windows in the country.
All visitors must reserve a free timed-entry ticket prior to visiting.
