More quotes by Marc Chagall
Work isn't to make money you work to justify life.
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
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
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
If I weren't a Jew then I wouldn't be an artist, or at least not the one I am now.
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
Can my words distill for you a little sweetness, tender and caressing?
Marc Chagall
To call everything that appears illogical, fantasy, fairy tale, or chimera would be practically to admit not understanding nature.
Marc Chagall
Mine alone is the country of my soul.
Marc Chagall
Everything in art must spring from the movement of our whole life-stream, of our whole being - including the unconscious.
Marc Chagall
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around 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
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
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
Marc Chagall
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
Marc Chagall
Color is everything. When color is right, form is right.
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
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
