Description of Marc Chagall Art

175 high-resolution Marc Chagall art images for your PC

Chagall's distinctive use of color and form is derived partly from Russian Expressionism and influenced by French Cubism. Crystallizing his style early, he later developed subtle variations. His numerous works represent characteristically vivid recollections of Russian-Jewish village scenes and incidents in his private life, in addition to treatments of Jewish subjects. His works combine recollection with folklore and fantasy.

His works in various media include sets for plays and ballets, etchings illustrating the Bible, and stained-glass windows. Biblical themes characterize a series of etchings executed between 1925 and 1939, illustrating the Old Testament.

Chagall's repertory of images, including massive bouquets, melancholy clowns, flying lovers, fantastic animals, biblical prophets, and fiddlers on roofs, helped to make him one of the most popular major innovators of the 20th-century. He presented dream-like subject matter in rich colors and in a fluent, painterly style that - while reflecting an awareness of artistic movements such as Expressionism, Cubism, and even abstraction - remained invariably personal.

Although critics sometimes complained of uneven quality and an excessive repetition of motifs in the artist's large total output, there is agreement that at its best it reached a level of visual metaphor seldom attempted in modern art.

The most notable pictures by Marc Chagall have been carefully collected, selected and researched, and they are now available to you in one, easy to use, combined package, i.e. art pack. The pictures are designed to work as a desktop background (a wallpaper) on any computer with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, XP, or 2000.
