Saturday Art: Chagall's America Windows - Shadowproof

preview

I am a huge fan of the Russian-Jewish artist Marc Chagall(1887-1985), and I always go to see any of his exhibits that appear in the New York area. He is also known for creating many beautiful stained glass windows, which are installed in England, Israel, Germany, the U.S and other countries.The America Windows were created in honor of the Bicentennial of the United States, and are exhibited at where you can see a short video about this work of art. They consist of three large sections, each with multiple panes. Bright blue colors predominate, with a few accents of red and yellow. Pablo Picasso is quoted as having said that “When Matisse dies, Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what color really is”.(all photos courtesy of Anna Fox(Harsh Light) via Flickr)In the panel above you can see a city skyline, as well as an image of the Statue of Liberty in the lower right and a bright yellow sun in the upper left.This panel contains more city skyline, as well as symbols that Chagall incorporated into many of his paintings; people dancing, people suspended in midair, and religious symbols.This panel contains images of musical instruments, another common Chagall theme. Violins especially seem to have been a fixation with him. It’s fun to see how many you can find. For instance here’s , , another on the roof which may have been the inspiration for the musical of that name; or maybe it was this who is also on a roof. Then there’s theand some violin playing goats and cows in and and .Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music; everything is vibration.
