| MARC CHAGALL
MARC CHAGALL (1887-1985) The romantic and the allegorical interested Chagall. One of his most loved paintings is Bouquet with Flying Lovers (1934-7), a mystical, dreamlike vision of the artist and his wife Bella, floating above their hometown of Vitebsk in Russia. The colours he favoured were blues and greens, with a magical silvery glisten adding to the sparkle of the subjects. Chagall also designed costumes and sets for theatre, beautiful stained glass designs, and book illustration. Chagall's work is difficult to place into a category; he claimed his work was inspired by his early years, disagreeing with critics who wanted to place him as a Cubist or Surrealist. |
