Decoding the Visual Poetry of the Met Opera’s Beloved Chagall Murals

news.artnet.com: New York’s financially beleaguered Metropolitan Opera announced earlier this week that it may sell its two iconic, and colossal, Marc Chagall murals, which adorn the building’s Grand Tier. There’s a caveat to the proposal, however—the paintings would need to remain in place at the opera, and the owner would be recognized in a plaque. The two paintings, The Sources of Music and The Triumphs of Music, were unveiled in 1966 and have become synonymous with the venue.
