More quotes by Marc Chagall
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
Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?
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
Color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
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
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
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
Marc Chagall
All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
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
Mine alone is the country of my soul.
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
One must always be careful not to let one's work be covered with moss.
Marc Chagall
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
Marc Chagall
Work isn't to make money you work to justify life.
Marc Chagall
In my youth, poverty enriched me, but now I can afford wealth.
Marc Chagall
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
Marc Chagall
What counts is art. painting, a kind of painting that is quite different from what everyone makes it out to be. But what kind? Will God or someone else give me the strength to breathe the breath of prayer and mourning into my paintings, the breath of prayer for redemption and resurrection?
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
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
Art is foremost a state of mind, and only secondarily a problem of form.
Marc Chagall
