by Rainer Metzger, Ingo F. Walther
Marc Chagall, 1887-1985: Painting as Poetry - Thryft
Marc Chagall, 1887-1985: Painting as Poetry - Thryft

Vivid modernism meets poetic whimsy in art.

If the blend of poetry and painting intrigues you, "Marc Chagall, 1887-1985: Painting as Poetry" will be a sheer delight. Chagall's unique style fuses dream-like scenes with folkloric charm, allowing readers not only to appreciate his artistry but also to immerse themselves in the lyrical quality of his work. This could very well be the book that introduces you to the deeper facets of modern art.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Colourful dreams and Chagall's world full of everyday miracles. The Belarusian painter 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 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 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. Sorry!
