Happy Birthday Marc Chagall
Some time ago, I wrote a post entitled My First Muse about Marc Chagall. So naturally, when I logged onto the internet today and saw my Google homepage had images from Chagall's works I had to click. Which is how I happen to know that today is Chagall's birthday.I was particularly pleased by the timing because I recently updated my Artist Statement to include the following: "I regard film as visual poetry and have been equally inspired by the mythopoetic work of Maya Deren, the wonderfully complex storytelling of Darren Aronofsky and the beautiful cinematography found in the films of Luc Besson. Other, less obvious, influences in my work are the paintings of Marc Chagall and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Chagall's use of symbolism, bright colours and visual storytelling have always inspired my imagination..."
And here is my very favourite Chagall painting: "I and the Village"
