Marc Chagall: 1887–1985

by Jacob Baal-Teshuva

Despite a life buffeted by war and revolution, by exile and official condemnation in Russia, Marc Chagall preserved in his work a sense of peace and beauty. This comprehensive and incisive exploration of one of the greatest and most beloved artists of this century brings together the writings of art critics, the reminiscences of family, friends, and colleagues, and Chagall's own words to create a striking portrait of an artist who delighted the world with his unique brand of creativity. Chagall: A Retrospective traces the artist's personal and artistic development from his humble beginnings in the Russian town of Vitebsk to his continuing contributions to world art at the time of his death at the age of ninety-seven.

Pretty good overview of the man and his work. I used this to prep myself for an Chagall exhibition I saw in Rome. It was helpful. So many of his pieces are part of private collections and this topical study of his work is far from complete, but it served its purpose for me.

A massive collection of great quality reproduction of the artist's colourfully vibrant dreamscapes.
