chagall
The piece I have chosen for this assignment is Marc Chagall's I and the Village. This piece, done in oil paints seems to have taken on many of the characteristics of watercolors. Many of the colors are very translucent, and many bleed into each other. The subjects in this piece are very defined. However, I am unsure what point the artist is trying to make. The contrasting colors of green and red, along with blue and orange create movement, and keep your eye from staying in one place for very long. The ultimate effect of the whole piece is very tranquil and peaceful. There are no sharp points
However, my opinion in Chagall's mind would be nothing but "nonsense. They are only pictorial arrangements of images that obsess me. However, he feels quite differently, as shown in the following quote where he describes his work. This work was done in the beginning of a new century, of which had drastic changes in the everyday lives of many people due to new developments in technology. Chagall came from a town in Russia, and more likely than not, in his move to Paris he found it to be like no other place in the world. These subject matters really give you a sense of the past, and make the work quite nostalgic. In this painting, I feel that color is the predominant feature. I feel that Chagall found comfort in painting scenes from his home country and they were his only connection to where he originated from. I feel that the use of color in this work is very similar to the work of the Fauves in that it is liberally applied. My paintings are my reason for existence, my life, and that's all.
