With his enchanting roster of musicians, roosters, flowers, and floating lovers, the Belarusian painter Marc Chagall is celebrated to this day as one of the most readily identifiable modern masters and one of the most influential Jewish artists of all time. This dependable artist introduction explores the dreams, tales, colors, and cultural traditions that made up Chagall’s (1887-1985) rich and intricate tapestry.
Presentation
Chagall’s paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, portray colorful dreams and tales that are deeply rooted in his Russian Jewish origins. The memories and yearning they evoke recall his native Vitebsk, and the great events that mark the life of ordinary people: birth, love, marriage, and death. They tell of a world full of everyday miracles - in the room of lovers, on the streets of Vitebsk, beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Heaven and earth seem to meet in a topsy-turvy world in which whimsical figures of people and animals float through the air with gravity-defying serenity.
