Velikani likovne umjetnosti #30: Marc Chagall - Slikarstvo kao poezija
Each book in Taschen's Basic Art series contains a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the artist's cultural and historical significance, approximately 100 color illustrations with explanations, and a brief biography.
Belarusian painter Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is widely considered the embodiment of the "painter as poet." The worldwide admiration he has garnered remains unmatched by any artist of the century.
Chagall's paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, depict vivid dreams and stories deeply rooted in his Russian-Jewish heritage. The memories and longings they evoke recall his native Vitebsk and the great events that mark the lives of ordinary people: birth, love, marriage, and death. They tell of a world full of everyday miracles—in a lover's room, on the streets of Vitebsk, beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Heaven and earth seem to meet in an upside-down world where whimsical figures of people and animals float through the air with a gravity-defying serenity.
