I just received this new video from a dear friend. Her note is as follows:
yaellavie — April 10, 2010 — Marc Chagall, a Jewish Russian-French Painter and Artist, was born in 1887 to a poor Jewish family in Russia. He was the eldest of nine children... Chagall began to display his artistic talent while studying at a secular Russian school, and despite his fathers disapproval, in 1907 he began studying art with Leon Bakst in St. Petersburg... It was at this time that his distinct style that we recognize today began to emerge. As his paintings began to center on images from his childhood, the focus that would guide his artistic motivation for the rest of his life came to fruition...
In 1910, Marc Chagall, moved to Paris .. It was during this period that he painted some of his most famous paintings of the Jewish village,...
In addition to images of the Jewish world, Chagall's paintings are inspired by themes from the Bible and developed the features that became recognizable trademarks of his art. Strong and bright colors began to portray the world in a dreamlike state. Fantasy, nostalgia, and religion began to fuse together to create otherworldly images...
Marc Chagall was one of the greatest figurative artists of the 20th century..
Music by Maurice Sklar : ''Jewish Folk Medley'' and ''Jehova Jireh''
I hope you'll enjoy Chagall's paintings and Maurice Sklar's violin ..

Comments are always very appreciated..
Love and Shalom.....
