Chagall: The Art of Dreams (New Horizons S.)

Chagall: The Art of Dreams (New Horizons S.)

by Daniel Marchesseau (Author)

Synopsis

Drawing on his Russian and Jewish heritage, Marc Chagall created magical works full of poetic symbolism and radiant colour in which the real and the imaginary merge. This book sets out to reveal the timeless beauty of his art. Born in Russia before the Revolution, Chagall travelled as a young man to Paris, where he came into contact with the Cubists, Fauves and surrealists, but he always retained a strongly independent vision. His childlike sense of wonder found expression in painting, engraving, gouache, stage designs, mosaics, tapestries, sculptures and stained-glass windows that captured his home town of Vitebsk, the world of the circus, the great stories of the Bible, the agony of the war years, as well as his dreams, visions, memories and his love for his wife, Bella Rosenfeld.
