Le Bouquet Rose (The Rose Bouquet), 1980
“If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.”
- Marc Chagall
Marc Chagall (1887–1985) was a pioneering 20th-century artist known for his vibrant use of color and fantastical imagery. Born Moishe Shagal in the small town of Vitebsk, then part of the Russian Empire (now Belarus), he is associated with several art movements, including Expressionism, Surrealism, and Cubism. However, Chagall’s style is highly individualistic, often blending elements of folklore, religious symbolism, and his Jewish heritage.
