Summary
The painter as poet: A world of floating symbols
For Marc Chagall （1887 1985）， painting was an intricate tapestry of dreams， tales， and traditions。 His instantly recognizable visual language carved out a unique early 20th-century niche， often identified as one of the earliest expressions of psychic experience。
Chagall s canvases are characterized by loose brushwork， deep colors， a particular fondness for blue， and a repertoire of recurring tropes including musicians， roosters， rooftops， flowers， and floating lovers。 For all their ethereal charms， his compositions were often rich and complex in their references。 They wove together not only colors and forms， but also his Jewish roots with his present encounters in Paris， markers of faith with gestures of love and symbols of hope with testimonies of trauma。
Across scenes of birth， love， marriage， and death， this dependable artist introduction explores the many versions of Chagall s rich vocabulary。 From visions of his native Vitebsk in modern-day Belarus to images of the Eiffel Tower， we explore the unique aesthetic of one of the most readily identifiable modern masters and one of the most influential Jewish artists of all time。

I now love Chagall and don't you think he looks like Bob Dylan？ I now love Chagall and don't you think he looks like Bob Dylan？ 。。。more

An interesting read。 Chagall’s art is not at all to my taste but it can be appreciated nevertheless。

I thought I loved Chagall！ Now， thanks to this book， I'm absolutely sure of it。 In fact， I appreciated so much from what I learned from this book - as always， Taschen delivers just the right amount of information to make you knowledgeable about an artist -， that now I seek a larger and more comprehensive book about Chagall。 But this is only out of unbridled love， because this Taschen book did an excellent job to showcase his life and art， and should be enough for most art lovers。 I thought I loved Chagall！ Now， thanks to this book， I'm absolutely sure of it。 In fact， I appreciated so much from what I learned from this book - as always， Taschen delivers just the right amount of information to make you knowledgeable about an artist -， that now I seek a larger and more comprehensive book about Chagall。 But this is only out of unbridled love， because this Taschen book did an excellent job to showcase his life and art， and should be enough for most art lovers。 。。。more

Best for the pictures as the translation of the original text is somewhat stilted。

would have given 5 stars but was surprised that there was no chapter about his time at the opera。
