Chagall, a postcard book



Chagall, a postcard book
Author: ?
Score: does not apply to my needs or likes
Year: 1990
Publisher: Running Press 
ISBN 0-89471-806-1
Pages Not numbered. 2 pages of text, and 30 full-color postcards with text on flip side

Language: English

I found this tiny book  (12.7X1.9X18.4 CM) on the shelves today, in search of small and easy books to read, as I've been fatigued. 
I found only 2 small pages of texts explaining a bit of Chagall's subjects of art, and then it's followed by 30 full-color postcards of some of his countless pieces.

The flip side tells of the whereabouts of each piece, at least as of 1990. Most in museums, bit a few in synagogues, as Chagall depicted several Jewish religious iconographies such as tribes, or biblical scenes. 

I found none to please my aesthetic preferences, not in colors, nor in subjects, nor in style ; and shall move on from this tiny book to another.
