More quotes by Marc Chagall
Color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
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
The fingers must be educated, the thumb is born knowing.
Marc Chagall
Mozart never composed anything, ever! He copied what was written on his soul.
Marc Chagall
To call everything that appears illogical, fantasy, fairy tale, or chimera would be practically to admit not understanding nature.
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
Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.
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
One must always be careful not to let one's work be covered with moss.
Marc Chagall
My mother's love for me was so great I have worked hard to justify it.
Marc Chagall
In my youth, poverty enriched me, but now I can afford wealth.
Marc Chagall
In the arts, as in life, everything is possible provided it is based on love.
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
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
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
Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul.
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
Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music everything is vibration.
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
