夏加尔|“遇见夏加尔 爱与色彩”155幅真迹展出!关于爱、生命与艺术( 四 )


Chagall Brightens the World with Color
Marc Chagall was born in 1887 to a poor Jewish family in what is now Belarus. He experienced both world wars, and spent his life drifting around the world, from his hometown of Vitebsk to Saint Petersburg, New York, and Paris. When creating art, he relied on his inner poetic force, rather than the logic or rules of painting; he perfectly blended images from his own experience with formal symbols and aesthetic elements. In his paintings, love is presented with vibrant colors and child-like figures, and lovers float down the river of love like balloons floating up into the sky at a party.
Clement Greenberg, one of the twentieth century’s greatest art critics, wrote that Chagall painted “… many beautiful paintings in royal blue, red, green, pink, and white—the still lifes that a sweeter Matisse could have painted and the bridal couples hovering in luscious bouquets…”Pablo Picasso, a good friend of Chagall, once said, “When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color is.”

The show will feature 155 works from Chagall’s mature period to his later years, spanning six decades and multiple mediums, including oil, watercolor, gouache, tempera, and etching. These works from 1925 to 1981 demonstrate his extraordinary skill in different mediums; the exhibition will showcase oil paintings such as Lovers with the Blue Donkey, The Bride and Groom and the Angel, The Purple Rooster, Lovers with a Bouquet of Flowers, and Painter and Acrobat, and the art historically acclaimed sets of prints, rarely exhibited in full, for La Fontaine's Fables and the Bible.
