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.\u003cbr\u003eIt 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\".\u003cbr\u003eReaders 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGISELA KIRPICSENKO\u003c\/b\u003e is curator at the Albertina Museum, Vienna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSUSANNE MEYER-BÜSER \u003c\/b\u003eis curator at Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Prestel Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50910975328530,"sku":"9783791377629","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_02ab5000-28aa-40b5-86bd-2c0b171ef86e.jpg?v=1738722269","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/chagall-9783791377629","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
