One for the Lovers

“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

It’s not just chairs we love. Sometimes we come across items at auctions that just catch our eye or imagination. Recently we found a rather large original poster for a Marc Chagall exhibition. The picture is a copy of “Over the Town” and shows Chagall and his wife flying above Vitebsk, which is a small town where he grew up.

Whilst Chagall was in Paris, he moved into a studio on the edge of town in the ramshackle settlement for bohemian artists that was known as La Ruche and here he met many other painters who were destined to become famous. This included Robert Delaunay, husband of Sonia.
