"If all life inevitably comes to an end, we must color it with the colors of love and hope."
A member of l’École de Paris, Marc Chagall is a painter of "surreality", as Apollinaire noted. His work, shrouded in the sacred, is inspired by the Jewish tradition that permeated his childhood. Chagall's art reveals a personal language that deftly combines the various visual and mental cultures that shape his imagination: that of Vitebsk, his hometown, where Yiddish, Bible stories and, in the distance, Orthodox songs resonate. in the shimmering of icons; but also that of the avant-gardes discovered in Paris, the fragmentation of cubist forms and the blazing colors of orphanism. Whatever he creates, his work is marked by his imagination and his dreams where fantastical chromaticism floods his works.
