Last night we went to the Inaugural Exhibition of a well respected fine art gallery in the area. I plan to feature it in a future Sunday Art Review, so I'll avoid any specifics on the exhibit here today. There was a Marc Chagall painting in the exhibit, which was captivating to say the least. I stood for 5-7 minutes or so and enjoyed the huge piece of art, trying to "soak it all up". Marc Chagall was a pioneer of modernism and one of the great figurative artists of our time. He worked with oils and canvas, stained glass, tapestries, theatre sets, etchings, and large scale public works of art as well. His work is known for using vivid colors and with an optimistic interpretation. Seeing his work brought back some strong memories of art history courses in college. This became the inspiration for this week's edition of the Sunday Art Review: A Brief Study in Marc Chagall. The first piece above left is called "Bay of Angels".

Thanks for stopping by the Sunday Art Review. What do you think of Marc Chagall? Which are your favorites and why? Go ahead, leave a comment, it's the last day in November (er, thanks for the correction Bee) and this day can never be relived again, so leave your mark!
