This work is reminiscent of many of Chagall s paintings in which clowns are linked to nurturing female figures. The jester who stands on the ladder has opened the window, permitting light from the majestic universe to shine into their place of rest. Joan Prefontaine is currently working on a book that explores the symbolism of the fool, jester, and clown in western art. She lives in Minnesota. It was published by the artist with the collaboration of master printer James F. Butterfield II at Aurora Serigraphics Studio, Van Nuys, California.
Price includes shipping of unframed serigraph.
An original, hand-printed serigraph printed and published by the artist. Completed February 2001.
