Marc
Chagall
Marc
Chagall stands out as a romantic genius among the most eminent of the 20th
century modern artists. He can be considered one of the most original artists of
his time. Picasso commented, after the death of Matisse, "There is only one
great colorist left and it is Marc Chagall." Overall, his gemlike
primary and secondary colors convey a fairytale or fable-like quality. Chagall
often used recollections of village life in his native Russia to construct a
mythological world of dreamlike unreality. Presenting art in unnatural
juxtapositions and magical color.
