CHAGALL

Featuring one hundred works from     throughout Chagall's career  this dazzling     exhibition
catalog focuses on the artist's     engagement with life's most primal and     universal
themes.          Steeped in tradition yet alive with imagination  Chagall's enormous body of
work reflects a profound connection to cultural roots and to the boundless possibilities of
creative expression. This monograph brings fresh eyes to the most relevant aspects of Chagall's
oeuvre. It traces how  over eight decades  Chagall responded to his contemporaries'
experimentations with cubism  fauvism  and surrealism by creating his own visual language. It
offers a lively examination of overarching themes-love and romance  Jewish tradition and
history  spirituality and the daily life  based on memory and nostalgia-and the ways they are
reflected through repetition and variation over the years. And it reveals how Chagall's
flexible use of symbols contributes to build a fantastic cosmos grounded on the "logic of the
illogical". Readers will come to understand how Chagall was essentially a storyteller with an
enormous gift for color and line  and a narrative artist who understood the power of symbolism
in his own terms.
