magic and mystery of Chagall

I have always been totally entranced by Chagall; every picture tells a story...and that is why we drove 180 miles to the Tate at Liverpool and back to see this exhibition of his early work in Paris. He is a totally talented romantic who loves colour, shapes and form. He captures his love for Bella in lapis lazuli blue and then sends her flying in a purple orbit in another painting. He experimented with cubism, constructivism, surrealism and ended up just painting what he wanted and what was important to him. His paintings are alive with colour, emotion, memories and meaning. What more is there to enjoy and appreciate...
