Chagall ~ Gallery Hopping
Off to see the paintings of MARC CHAGALL. His life seems a joyous fantasy expressed in his paintings and stained glass.
Chagall said—that he lived and created with one foot dipped in the waters of the subconscious and the other on terra firma in this reality. With such talk of art and the unconscious/consciousness, it sounds like he embraced a certain attitude to life and art influenced by the psychiatrist Carl Jung and the mythologist Joseph Campbell. Or did his work influence them? Entanglement?
Enjoying art through the lens of Joseph Campbell and Dr. Carl Jung adds layers and dimensions to our perceptions—all enhanced by the wonders of the human psyche.
Just look! Top left [in tryptych above] is a Chagall selfie. On the right is his gorgeous painting of the Paris Opera House. On the bottom left, I love the lyrically floating figures which fly from every stroke of his brush.
His death was predicted by a gypsy, who foretold he would die flying. He spent his last day doing what he loved best—painting his lyrical figures in the sky.

Do you enjoy talking and thinking about art in all its wonderful forms? Then you may want to read The Trilogy of Remembrance [The Drawing Lesson, The Fate of Pryde and Night Crossing]. The novels are sold anywhere on line, but if you click the coin, you’ll go to Amazon.

Chagall is a delight. I met him when he was just completing “i and the VIllage.”. You can read about that in “Chagall in Cyberspace which you can click above.
Although Alexander and I differ in our opinions about art [which you can read about in The Trilogy of Remembrance] I absolutely love Chagall.
