The exhibition ran from June 30 to October 8, 1984, marking the 97th anniversary of Chagall's birth. It was a major retrospective focused exclusively on his works on paper, including drawings, gouaches, aquarelles, and other paper-based pieces spanning from 1907 to the early 1980s (with some pieces up to 1983). The show featured around 150–200 works, many previously unpublished or rarely seen, highlighting Chagall's autonomous use of drawing as a medium in its own right—often blurring lines between drawing and painting, and incorporating elements like Hebrew script as plastic form, reflecting his Jewish heritage and the religious tensions around figural representation.
The cover artwork is a characteristic Chagall piece: an elongated, dreamlike figure (a recurring motif in his art, often evoking floating or ethereal human forms), with a small house (possibly a nod to his Vitebsk origins and shtetl imagery), a yellow circle (sun or moon), and abstract elements. The colorful, fragmented letters "HATAP" (or possibly "HATA PA" / "HATAPA") appear to be part of the composition—Chagall frequently integrated text, words, or pseudo-writing playfully or symbolically into his works, sometimes as visual elements rather than literal meaning. It may be an artistic inscription, signature variant, or invented wordplay typical of his whimsical, poetic style (no direct match to a known title or phrase like "hatap" appears in standard Chagall references, and searches for it lead unrelated elsewhere).
This 1984 catalogue (ISBN 2-85850-256-1 in some editions) is a substantial publication with 221 pages, numerous illustrations (some in color), and detailed documentation of the exhibited works. It remains a key reference for scholars studying
