La Mariee, By Marc Chagall (1887-1985)



I liked this painting because their is alot going on in it:)

Chagall believed that love colored his paintings, and expressed that Philosophy in "La Mariee." Focusing extensively on his childhood, his happy, optimistic paintings defy the poverty of his upbringing in a Russian Shtetl. After a brief time in Paris, Chagall escaped to the US during World war II where his career reached new heights including a rare exhibit during his lifetime at the Louvre.

  1. Chagall is one of my favorite modern painters. I had the pleasure of seeing a retrospective in Washington D.C. He uses very powerful and bold imagery in a very poetic way.
