Just Sharing

Back to blogging after the weekend.

Marc Chagall is one of my favorite painters for his sensitivity, humor, and the sheer creative joy of his work. If for any reason these don't appeal to you (HUH?), you can still find something to your taste on one of my favorite commercial sites on the web. Fulcrum Gallery. You can find anything to fit your pocket book from posters to limited editions, just plug in your favorite artist and go. Even if you don't purchase, it's just a good place to stop and dream about the ones you would like to have on your walls someday.

Marc Chagall - "My name is Marc, my emotional life is sensitive and my purse is empty, but they say I have talent."

Marc Chagall was a Russian-born French painter and designer, distinguished for his surrealistic inventiveness. He is recognized as one of the most significant painters and graphic artists of the 20th century. His painting style drew on both Cubism and Orphism. He used these styles to create his spatial dislocations and prismatic color effects. Chagall grew up in a deeply religious household, which inspired the subject matter for the majority of his paintings depicting Jewish life, folklore, and Bible stories.
