Product Description
Product Description
Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is widely regarded as epitomizing the "painter as poet". The worldwide admiration he commanded remains unparalleled by any artist of the 20th century. Chagall's paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, portray colourful dreams and tales that are deeply rooted in his Russian Jewish origins. The memories and yearning they evoke recall his native Vitebsk, and the great events that mark the life of ordinary people: birth, love, marriage and death. They tell of a world full of everyday miracles - in the room of lovers, on the streets of Vitebsk, beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Heaven and earth seem to meet in a topsy-turvy world in which whimsical figures of people and animals float through the air with gravity-defying serenity. This art album presents Chagall's work.

The happy painter of images!, May 8 2006
By Hiram Gomez Pardo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marc Chagall, 1887-1985: Painting As Poet (Hardcover)
His muse was Bella. He celebrated every anniversary of his wedding with a picture in which he and her appeared."The inner world is perhaps, more real than the visible world.", affirmed once.
Almost all his work have consisted in love pictures, sinuous fantasies that seemed to disorient the spectator, where birds, quadrupeds and fishes join to a Ode to Joy. His chosen colors acquire vivid tunes of the rainbow; with them variegates details such tress curdled with exotic flowers, a horse that plays a violin, hen' s eggs inside a gold' s nestle, or a cow that jumps on the ceiling of a house.
You will also see, the his famous etched plates to illustrate the Bible as well as his famous pictorial motive on the roof of Paris Opera.
This detailed and splendid biography has everything you request. "The three candles" has always been one of my favorites works of this notable artist.
It' s pleasantly illustrated with abundant information and wonderful reproductions. Go for it without dilation.

Best as it can be in offset reproductions, Feb 1 2012
By Thomas Hawking - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Marc Chagall, 1887-1985: Painting as Poetry (Paperback)
Certainly the book does a decent job at reproducing the images, but if you have seen Chagalls images, you know that his work is best viewed in real life. This is due to the fact that his work uses a lot of relief, not just colours. But prints can only go so far to show this. Try to get thee to a museum that showcases his work, it will be worth the trip!
