[Moïse, Aaron et les Tables de la Loi] Moreover they made garments of ministration to minister in the Sanctuarie; they made also the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lorde had commanded Moses (De plus, on fit les vêtements d'office pour le service dans le sanctuaire; on fit aussi les vêtements sacrés pour Aaron, comme Le Seigneur l'avait ordonné à Moïse) - The Story of Exodus

Léon Amiel, Paris, New-York 1966, 36x49.5cm, une feuille.

CHAGALL Marc. Moreover they made garments of ministration to minister in the Sanctuarie; they made also the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lorde had commanded Moses - The Story of Exodus
Amiel Léon, Paris, New-York 1966, 36 x 49.5 cm, one single leaf
Original color lithograph, one of 15 proofs on Japon impérial paper reserved for the artist and his collaborators, the only printing with 20 more on Japon and 250 on Arches paper. Unsigned proof, as all proofs in this series, other than the frontispiece.
A superb proof on Japon paper specially made for The Story of Exodus, published in 1966, for which Chagall made 24 hors-text lithographs printed by Mourlot.
An exceedingly rare original proof on Japon paper, the most attractive and best for color lithographs. 

Fernand Mourlot was undoubtedly the finest lithographic printer of the 20th century and was thus the friend and printer to the leading artists of his day. "Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Miró, Braque, Dubuffet, Léger, Giacometti...added to their own expression and contemporary art a new field of research. With Mourlot, and thanks to him, lithography acquired both a personality and a future" (Pierre Cabanne, in Cinquante années de lithographie).
Having already printed two volumes of the Bible illustrated by Chagall, Mourlot contributed to the artist's lithographic training in the 1950s. It was during this period that Chagall began to visit Mourlot's workshop regularly in order to learn lithographic techniques and that he developed bonds of friendship with the staff of the workshop, most notably Charles Sorlier.
It was thus at the peak of his powers that Chagall made this story of Exodus, which coincided with the termination of his immense lithographic and pictoral work on the Bible, undertaken in 1930 at the urging of Ambroise Vollard. This decorative cycle, entitled Le Message Biblique [The Biblical Message] was in fact the basis for the creation of the Chagall Museum, originally called the Musée national du message biblique Marc-Chagall.
