There's a Party Above the Town

Another fun painting to do. Any time I can use a variety of bright colors, I'm happy.

"When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is.

I saw Chagall many years ago at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. What a great exhibit. I heard at the time that he would not be back in Philly in my life time so for my birthday that year, my girfriend took me to see him. I was remembering this as tomorrow is yet "another" birthday, so I decided to paint 

Marc Chagall - "Double portrait au verre de vin" - (1917-18)  - " Above the Town".

Because it's my birthday painting, I decided to call it "There's a Party Above the Town" It was fun separating the figures and  and giving the female a full face. I like him much better hugging the wine bottle rather than sitting on her shoulders. Sometimes I wonder where Chagall's head was when he did things like that. What does this represent? My painting represent me and Dominic on top of our mountain, overlooking the town...with a giant bottle of wine, toasting my birthday.

I am so happy that I took a break from a very heavy commission schedule to celebrate my birthday playing in paint with Marc Chagall.  Enjoy!

Above The Town

by Marc Chagall

 

Marc Chagall   (July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian - French Artist, associated with several key art movements and was one of the most successful artists of the twentieth century. He created a unique career in virtually every artistic medium, including paintings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. Chagall's haunting, exuberant, and poetic images have enjoyed universal appeal.


He was known to have two basic reputations, writes Lewis – as a pioneer of modernism, and as a major Jewish artist. He experienced modernism’s golden age in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism." Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk."
