MARC CHAGALL

(1887-1985)

“ Love and fantasy go hand in hand ”

Marc Chagall was born in Belarus in 1887 and developed an early interest in art. In 1907 he left Russia for Paris. Some pictures from this period are his Window Vitebsk (1908) and My Fianceé with Black Gloves (1909).

Under the influence of the wildly popular fauvism and cubism, Chagall lightened his palette and pushed his style ever further from reality.

In August 1914 the outbreak of World War I changed Chagall’s plans to return to Paris. His paintings from this period also occasionally featured images of the war and the impact it produced on people.

Chagall once remarked : “Only love interests me...” .

In July 1915 he married Bella, and she gave birth to a daughter, Ida, the following year.

Chagall’s work brought him success as an artist and enabled him to travel throughout Europe in the 1930s. Arriving in New York City in June 1941, Chagall discovered that he was already a well-known artist there and, despite a language barrier, soon became a part of the exiled European artist community.

In September 1944 his beloved Bella died of a viral infection, leaving the artist overwhelmed with grief. His sadness at the loss of his wife would haunt Chagall for years to come, as represented in his 1945 paintings Around Her and The Wedding Candles.

Born in 1877, Chagall lived through two wars, made his home in 5 countries and witnessed the impressionists, the fauvists, the symbolists, the surrealists, and the birth of modern art. In 1973, When Chagall was 86 years old, The Musee de Chagall opened in Nice.

Five years later in 1977, The Louvre, which rarely exhibited the work of a living artist , featured  62 his works.

Picasso said : “When Matisse dies Chagall will be the only painter alive who understands what color really is.” With the death of Chagall in 1985, the world lost its finest colorist.
