More quotes by Marc Chagall
One must always be careful not to let one's work be covered with moss.
Marc Chagall
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
Marc Chagall
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.
Marc Chagall
Everything in art must spring from the movement of our whole life-stream, of our whole being - including the unconscious.
Marc Chagall
All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
Marc Chagall
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
Marc Chagall
The most authentic Russian Impressionism leaves one perplexed if one compares it with Monet and Pissarro. Here, in the Louvre, before the canvases of Manet, Millet and others, I understood why my alliance with Russia and Russian art did not take root.
Marc Chagall
I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love. I will give all my soul to prove this once more.
Marc Chagall
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world. In this long vigil he often has to vary his methods of stimulation but in this long vigil he is also himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.
Marc Chagall
Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?
Marc Chagall
Changes in societal structure and in art would possess more credibility if they had their origins in the soul and spirit. If people read the words of the prophets with closer attention, they would find the keys to life.
Marc Chagall
In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.
Marc Chagall
You could wonder for hours what flowers mean, but for me, they're life itself, in all its happy brilliance. We couldn't do with out flowers. Flowers help you forget life's tragedies.
Marc Chagall
The habit of ignoring Nature is deeply implanted in our times. This attitude reminds me of people who never look you in the eye I find them disturbing and always have to look away.
Marc Chagall
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.
Marc Chagall
I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.
Marc Chagall
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
Marc Chagall
If all life moves inevitably towards its end, then we must, during our own, colour it with our colours of love and hope.
Marc Chagall
Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
Marc Chagall
Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
Marc Chagall
