- Summary
- This portrait of Marc Chagall meshes 300 of the artist's paintings, murals and stained glass windows with an extensive interview with the 90-year-old master and his second wife, Vava. The film documents Chagall's life with examples from his prodigious body of work: from youthful depictions of vibrant village scenes and Jewish elders evocative of his Russian birthplace, to loving portraits of his late first wife, the artist's portrayals of the Jewish persecution during World War II, to his present work in St. Paul de Vence, France. Chagall's artistic acumen in a wide range of media is apparent in commissioned projects: the mosaics for the First National Bank of Chicago, murals for New York's Lincoln Center, stained glass windows for the U.N. and Jerusalem's Biblical Museum, tapestries for the Israeli Parliament Building and the ceiling of the Paris Opera. All bear Chagall's signature blending of mysticism, lyricism and whimsicality, and reflect the artist's lifelong devotion to Biblical subjects, Jewish culture and joyous celebrations of flight.
