Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music everything is vibration.

More quotes by Marc Chagall

Image
Despite all the troubles of our world, in my heart I have never given up on the love in which I was brought up or on man's hope in love. In life, just as on the artist's palette, there is but one single colour that gives meaning to life and art–the colour of love
Marc Chagall
Image
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.
Marc Chagall
Image
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
Marc Chagall
Image
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
Image
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
Marc Chagall
Image
My works are dear to me, each in its own way, I shall have to answer for them on the Day off Judgement. God alone knows whether I shall ever see them again. Quite apart from the money which I was going to receive for their sale there (exhibition in Gallery Der Sturm, Berlin June-July, 1914) and it is no small sum.
Marc Chagall
Image
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
Image
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
Marc Chagall
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Mine alone is the country of my soul.
Marc Chagall
Image
I am working in Paris . I cannot for a single day get the thought out of my head that there probably exists something essential, some immutable reality, and now that I have lost everything else (thank God, it gets lost all on its own) I am trying to preserve this and, what is more, not to be content. In a word: I am working.

Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
Marc Chagall
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
In my youth, poverty enriched me, but now I can afford wealth.
Marc Chagall
Image
I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.

Image
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
Marc Chagall
Image
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.

Color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
