Despite all the troubles of our world, in my heart I have never given up on the love in which I was brought up or on man’s hope in love. In life, just as on the artist’s palette, there is but one single colour that gives meaning to life and art– the colour of love.
– Marc Chagall
Marc Chagall (1887-1985) left his unique mark on Modern Art with his colorfull works halfway between Surrealism, Neo-Primitivism and Fauvism. Throughout his 75-year career, he produced over 10,000 works – warm, human pictorial universe, full of personal metaphor, inspired byJewish tradition,Russian fairy tales and his own mystical dreams.
He created the majestic ceiling of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. After his death in 1985, the artist left behind an impressive artistic heritage and colossal legacy.
