Description

|
"When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is." As a pioneer of modernism and one of the great figurative artists of the 20th century, Marc Chagall achieved worldwide fame and over the course of a long career created some of the most loved paintings of our time. His works often radiated joy, yet his life was marked with heartbreak, bitterness, frustration, and exile from the village life he immortalized in paint. In this biography Jackie Wullschlager explores Chagall's complex relationship with Russia in detail, and makes clear the Russian dimension he brought to Western modernism in images of his dreams, longings, and memories.
