More quotes by 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
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
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 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
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
In my youth, poverty enriched me, but now I can afford wealth.
Marc Chagall
I've always painted pictures in which human love floods my colors.
Marc Chagall
One must always be careful not to let one's work be covered with moss.
Marc Chagall
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
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
Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?
Marc Chagall
Work isn't to make money you work to justify life.
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 everything. When color is right, form is right.
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
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
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
Marc Chagall
Mine alone is the country of my soul.
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
