Marc Chagall was a Belorussian-French painter who composed his works based on emotional and poetic psychic associations rather than according to logical pictorial convention. His early works predated Surrealism and were among the first attempts to illustrate psychic reality in modern art. He was born in 1887 unto a large humble devout Jewish family in a small city close to the Polish border in the Russian Empire, picking up artistic skills from a young age before leaving for Paris in 1910. He would go on to create works in different formats, from painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and prints. His original aesthetic drew from ideas of Eastern Europe and Jewish folk culture. A modern expressionist with a sense of classical humility, he was hailed as the world’s pre-eminent Jewish artist. He was furthermore a vehemently figurative painter who zealously distilled his most profound experiences into a transcendent poetic aesthetic. His unique work speaks openly to the soul on many levels – creatively, aesthetically, intellectually, poetically, spiritually. Its aesthetic beauty primarily lies beyond his ethereal sense of colour but rather in his technical ability to transcend the boundaries of humility and elitism within the human experience. The results are endearingly dreamy and eccentric. This is a favourite artist of mine who inspires me endlessly.
