The Centre Pompidou-Metz is dedicating the exhibition Le passeur de Lumières (The Light carrier) to Marc Chagall. The paintings or tapestries displayed are all dedicated to peace. At the end of World War Two, he turned to plastic art. He created ceramic objects, explored sculpture and mosaic processes. After his work on the stained-glass windows in Metz Cathedral, Chagall designed tapestries. In 1963, Israel entrusted him with the decoration of the Knesset's (parliament) entrance hall. He made preparatory gouaches for three monumental tapestries, realized by the Gobelins Manufactory in Paris. In 1964, he created the stained-glass window of peace which adorns the UN in New York. A vast tapestry was drawn from it in 1994.
