Four seasons and a fountain


You'll find the Four Seasons mosaic mural gracing the Chase Tower Plaza in downtown Chicago. The work is by famed artist Marc Chagall and was gifted to the city by collector Frederick Prince back in the 1970s. It's a nice colorful piece that adds more beauty to an already beautiful city! Photo taken in August 2012. For more murals, take a look at Mural Mondays.

  10. I like it very much, Marc Chagall is a great artist, I saw many works of him in the south of France this summer.

  12. The mosaic is beautiful. We were really quite surprised at how lovely Chicago was the first time we went there! It doesn't somehow have the reputation but it should.

  15. Chagall? Really? Color me very impressed. But I do get hung up on details. How does a third party give a mosaic mural to a city? It's not like he had all the tiny pieces stored in his garage. Is a mosaic like a fresco and can be pulled off a wall? It looks like it's full of movement as well as color. Thanks for contributing to Monday Mural.
