Happy 136th birthday, Marc Chagall!
We sill enjoy the work you did in your 92yrs. on the earth.
What I love most about his work is the subject matter. The images of his youth in Russia were always with him, and he painted them like colorful dreams of life at its best, a life we all want to hold in our imaginations.
I was in Rome in 2007. I had just walked through the Forum in the rain, and came to a museum on the hill. There I found a series of collages, that looked like figures in his paintings had leaped off the canvas. I didn't know he had done collages; I was captivated. What a memorable Sunday afternoon.
