More quotes by Marc Chagall
What I mean by 'abstract' is something which comes to life spontaneously through a gamut of contrasts, plastic at the same time as psychic, and pervades both the picture and the eye of the spectator with conceptions of new and unfamiliar elements.
Marc Chagall
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.
Marc Chagall
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
Marc Chagall
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.
Marc Chagall
I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.
Marc Chagall
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
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
If I create with my heart almost all my intentions remain. If it is with the head - almost nothing. An artist must not fear to be himself, to express only himself. If he is absolutely and entirely sincere, what he says and does will be acceptable to others.
Marc Chagall
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
Marc Chagall
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
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
Mine alone is the country of my soul.
Marc Chagall
If a symbol should be discovered in a painting of mine, it was not my intention. It is a result I did not seek. It is something that may be found afterwards, and which can be interpreted according to taste.
Marc Chagall
In my youth, poverty enriched me, but now I can afford wealth.
Marc Chagall
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
Marc Chagall
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
Marc Chagall
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
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
Color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
Marc Chagall
