Marc Chagall was born July 7, 1887, was a Russian-Belarusian-French painter whose dedication and talent has been widely recognized. He was born in Liozno, Belarus and was the eldest of nine children. His childhood had a profound impact on his later work.
His father worked in a salt herring factory and his mother was a housekeeper. Very important person in his life was his grandfather, who passed his love for religion on young Marc. Chagall was Jewish, making it difficult to live with his talent and expectations.
He studied painting at St. Petersburg then moved to Paris, France. In France, Chagall met and developed friendships with avant-garde artists such as Guillaume Apollinaire and Robert Delaunay. Chagall has always talked about the importance of Paris for his artistic development.
Chagall was exposed to Cubism, and the exposure resulting in the addition of geometric shapes for his paintings, as well as understanding of Cubist multiple viewpoints. This is evident in his paintings "I and my village "which was painted in 1911, and" Self Portrait with Seven Fingers ". This one was painted in 1912-1913.
Chagall became an active participant in the Russian Revolution of 1917. It was very well respected and appointed commissioner, but he disagreed politically with the Soviet Union. For this reason, he moved to Moscow with his wife in 1920, but returned to Paris in 1923. He moved to United States America in 1941.
Bella, his beloved wife of Chagall and constant inspiration, died in 1944. Following her death, Chagall became depressed and then returns to France. He remarried in 1952 to Valentina Brodskii (he called Vava).
Chagall is an independent artist and has often been criticized for its lack of realism. It is very important to emphasize the inspiration of Chagall: life, joy, childhood, Belarussian folk life.
His work style is very difficult to categorize, but the main who built his art was Cubism avant-garde and Fauvism.
Chagall some symbols used more often than others in his paintings. Here are some of them:
– Chest (symbolized eroticism and fertility)
– Rooster (symbolized fertility and often painted with lovers)
Symbol – tree (Chagall life)
Wealth – cow (symbol of life: milk, food, leather …)
– Herring (Chagall's father, who worked in a factory salt)
– Horses (symbolized grace and freedom)
– La Tour Eiffel (another symbol of freedom, the beautiful height)
Marc Chagall died March 28, 1985 at the age of 97. But his art, talent and joy of living is still alive in his paintings.
