Wyman Shoots Chagall

Wyman Shoots Chagall is a unique book, born of an unlikely meeting between two artists who had achieved greatness in their respective fields. This charming limited edition volume, restricted to 1,500 copies worldwide, presents the portrait photography and extensive reminiscences of the former Rolling Stones bass player Bill Wyman.

When all the members of The Rolling Stones relocated to the South of France in 1971, it was initially a temporary measure, but Bill ended up staying for nearly a dozen years. In Vence, he bought a plot of land, built a house, and made new friends among the artists, musicians and sportsmen in the area.

In 1976 he was introduced to the great artist and local celebrity Marc Chagall, celebrated for his dream-like paintings, ceramics and stained-glass windows. Chagall was in his late eighties by then, but he and Bill quickly established a warm friendship, meeting regularly for afternoon tea.
