Marc Chagall is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He created a unique world of pathos, poetry, humor, and enchantment. Inspired by Byzantine, Russian, icon & folk art. Chagall’s wish was that his poetic and dreamlike imagery would be interpreted freely. 

He loved life. He loved the circus and found a human paradox in both —joy mixed with tragedy, and even beauty with sadness. Flying lovers, massive bouquets, melancholy clowns, lonely fiddlers, and vibrant animals were legendary for always floating through his oeuvres. The religious and poetic inspirations of Chagall’s art have interestingly always appealed to a diverse public, and competitively popular amongst young collectors today.

“His unconventional world was a brightly colored melange of animals, flowers, people, embracing lovers, birds and fish playing musical instruments, nymphs, satyrs, winged female figures, Jewish and Christian symbols, vignettes of clustered roofs and violins with angel's wings. These objects rarely if ever bore their natural hues; cows were likely to be blue, horses green, people red.”

“When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.”
