MARC CHAGALL (1887-1985)
ARTIST INFO
Marc Chagall – born in Liosno / Vitebsk district (Russia / Belarus) 1887 – died 1985 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (France)
The French-Russian-Jewish artist (painter and graphic artist) Marc Chagall
… begins his artistic training in 1907. We found him in Paris as early as 1910, where he picked up the mood of the city and the styles of the artists. As a unique artist, Chagall later saw himself more and more as a painter of the Paris School
Marc Chagall studied among other things at the Petersburg Academy with Leo Bakst and traveled through France, Russia and America. Finally he found his new home in St. Paul de Vence (in France).
As a loner artist, Chagall left behind a unique life’s work
In 1910 the artist was impressed by the work of Henri Matisse, he came across Fauvism and Cubism when he visited the Salon de Indépandants. This is where styles come to the fore that will shape his work for decades.
In 1913 Chagall met the art dealer Herwarth Walden in Paris and was presented to the public with his first exhibition a year later.
In 1919 Marc Chagall ran an art school in his Russian homeland, Vitebsk.
We found the artist again in Berlin in 1920, where he took part in a joint exhibition of Russian artists in 1922.
The art dealer Paul Cassirer added Marc Chagall to his program and in 1922 brought out a series of etchings under the title “My Life”. This was followed in Paris in 1923 by book illustrations for Nikolai Gogol’s “Die toten Seelen” for Ambroise Vollard. The illustration and its series of images will shape the artist’s work well into old age.
Marc Chagall is one of the most important artists of Classical Modernism. The graphic artist and painter achieved great popularity in the art world during his lifetime
His works are expressionistic in their narrative structure and show us a „painter-poet“. As a French artist, Chagall remains loyal to Russian folk art and combines it with “Jewish mythology”. Chagall remained caught up in the subject throughout his Russian homeland and its fairytale world.
In his dream worlds you will find winged creatures, rich flower bouquets and floating people and objects that are sometimes allowed to stand on their heads. Mythological animals, the crescent moon, the Eiffel Tower, circus tents or bridges as symbols of Paris appear again and again in his oeuvre.
Marc Chagall created a wealth of motif worlds
Recurring and newly interpreted motifs become metaphors in his works and override the laws of gravity.
