" The art seems to me especially a state of mind.
style is not important. To express it is.
The paint will have a psychological content.
I nipped in the bud all my decorative impulse.
Attenuo il bianco, amalgamo il blu con mille pensieri.
La psiche deve trovare la propria via nei dipinti.
Bisogna lavorare sul quadro pensando che qualcosa
della propria anima entrerà a farne parte e gli darà sostanza.
Un quadro deve fiorire come qualcosa di vivo.
Deve afferrare qualcosa di innafferabile: il fascino
e il profondo significato di quello that is important to us "
(Marc Chagall on Chagall by Chagall , New York, 1979)
"My only is the home of my soul.
I can enter without a passport and I feel at home, it see my sadness and my loneliness, but there are no houses were destroyed during my childhood, their tenants flying hours in the air in search of a home, live in my soul "
(Marc Chagall)
" If I create something using the heart, very easy to work;
but if I use the head will be very difficult "
(Marc Chagall)
" Chagall is a colourist very gifted drifts wherever his imagination led him and pagan mysticism: his art is very sensual "
(the poet Guillaume Apollinaire on Marc Chagall)
Marc Chagall (Vitebsk 1887 - Saint-Paul de Vence 1985)
