«Chagall» is the art essay by Ingo F. Walther and Rainer Metzger, published by Taschen in paperback (96 pages, in English).
This essay traces the life and work of Marc Chagall (1887-1985), a Belarusian painter who combines Cubism, Symbolism and Fauvism. His images, steeped in mythology and his Russian Jewish roots, evoke Vitebsk, love, birth and death, with human and animal figures levitating in dreamlike scenes where sky and earth merge.
Full title: «Marc Chagall 1887-1985: Painting as Poetry». Volume in Taschen's Basic Art series; revised edition published in May 2000.
For a first approach to Chagall: the Basic Art series offers a chronological overview with around one hundred annotated illustrations.
