| | Indeed, Chagall was: "a poet with the wings of a painter." | | | Chagall's themes and memories - rooted in his Jewish identity, the life of his village, and his personal relationships - would often recur in his later art, but never with the same vivid passion and sense of discovery revealed in his early works. | | | Chagall's early works incorporate these influences, and manifest a uniqueness in the artist's ability to process and translate them into a language of visual metaphor that creates his singular expression. |

| | Marc Chagall at Weinstein Gallery |
| | Chagall himself rejected being labeled and steadfastly wished his art to be unaligned with the major art movements of the century. | | | Chagall's popularity, in part, is due to his art being resistant to over-intellectualization which is the fate of so much art in the past century. | | | Chagall is paired with Joan Miro as one of the two great artists of the century whose work is personal, emotional, and, in the case of Miro, often highly abstracted; yet is still understood and appreciated by a large cross section of the public. |

| | Even though at times he was slighly influenced by the contemporary developments in arts (as when he discovered Cubism, for example), throughout his long life he was an independent artist, often criticized for his lack of "realism" or for his lack of desire to explore non-objective art. | | | Chagall contributed to the Exhibition of Painting, 1915, and a year later sent over forty paintings to the Jack of Diamonds show in Moscow. | | | In Russia, after many years of silence and disregard for the artist, an exhibition of Chagall's works from private collections was organized in Novgorod in 1968, and five years later Chagall was invited to visit Moscow in connection with a small retrospective of his work. |

| | Chagall painted this self-portrait in his first Paris studio at La Ruche, a rambling commune in Montparnasse where he and 200 fellow artists (Soutine, Léger, Archipenko among them) lived in total squalor. | | | Chagall could not abide "soulless" abstraction; it is one of the reasons why he stands apart from all major currents of 20th-century art. | | | While Chagall spent most of his life in France, he never stopped returning to Vitebsk in his mind. |

| | Weber notes that although Chagall is considered either a Russian or a French artist, his etchings were profoundly influenced by the nine months he spent in Berlin in 1922-23, where he studied with artists of Berlin's Jewish renaissance, including Jakob Steinhardt, Ludwig Meidner and Arn Nadel. | | | Highlighted in the show is a collection of paintings originally displayed in 1914 as part of Chagall's first German exhibit in Der Sturm, a Berlin gallery. | | | Fifteen of the works exhibited at the Jewish Museum have not been seen here since they were confiscated by the Nazis from private and public collections in the 1930s and sold abroad for profit; the history of each piece is traced on a placard alongside the artwork. |

| | My hope is that I hereby extend my hand to seekers of culture, to poets and to artists among the neighboring people." The creation of the Windows was a labor of love to Chagall and his assistant, Charles Marq, both of whom worked on the project for two years. | | | Marq developed a special process of veneering pigment on glass which allowed Chagall to use as many as three colors on a single uninterrupted pane, rather than being confined to the traditional technique of separating each color pane by lean strips. | | | Chagall's Windows are populated by floating figures of animals, fish, flowers, and numerous Jewish symbols. |
