It was in this period that Chagall had a series of collotypes made of ten of his gouaches (the Phoebus series from 1954). Although he would not label the result as 'art prints', he was still quite pleased with it. The same goes for the pochoirs which he had made on occasion. The astonishingly beautiful series Couleur amour (1958) clearly stands out. Jacomet (who refined this template technique, and was in fact the only one who mastered it) worked on the series for a long time, using special watermarked hand-made paper.

The books for which Chagall created unique artwork are a class apart: he did watercolours, pencil drawings, gouaches, charcoal drawings, and used mixed techniques. Colour prints of highly varying quality were used for the books. At the end of his life, Charles Sorlier compiled a book which chronologically lists and describes most of the books illustrated by Chagall: Marc Chagall: Le livre des livres (The Illustrated Books), 1990. The Wuyt collection includes many of these special colour prints.
