Under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, Opera Gallery is pleased to present The Monaco Masters Show : Chagall & Léger, la couleur et la forme a masters exhibition with a special focus on Marc Chagall (1887-1985) and Fernand Léger (1881-1955).

With 2025 marking the 40th anniversary of Chagall’s death and 70th anniversary of Léger’s death, this exhibition explores the parallel experiences and respective influences of both masters. Using colour to underscore their distinctive approaches to modernism, their works can be seen as a celebration of humanity’s enduring spirit – with Léger taking an idealistic view to the collective-framing, the human figure as an intrinsic component of the modern, technological world – Chagall’s work embracing tradition and symbolism, taking a more mystical lens to personal narratives in his paintings.

Additionally, the exhibition will feature a wider presentation of nearly thirty 20th and 21st century masterworks from artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Fernando Botero, George Condo, Jean Dubuffet, Keith Haring, Alex Katz, Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Pierre Soulages, Manolo Valdés, Andy Warhol among others.
