Thoughts about Chagall’s work
I have fallen in love with Marc Chagall’s paintings. It’s a recent love affair for me. I had never had the honor of viewing his work before and even now it’s only online. I love the poetry in his art very much. I love an entire cubist avant-garde Russian village in I and the Village.
I adore his view of love in Wedding
I love the stories he tells in his art like in The Walk.
He often depicted love as flight. He used his wife, Bella, as a model many times. I love the way his use of various colors depending on the painting always surprises me. His subjects he chooses are always a surprise- apparently he liked goats a great deal. He loves Biblical and poetic themes. He also created great stain glass work.
He makes me feel as if I were part of his world, joy, and loves.
“Work isn’t to make money; you work to justify life.”~ Marc Chagall
