Marc Chegall, Born July 7, 1887
Through the mind of Marc Chegall, the famous Russian born French artist who just so happens to share my birthday:
"All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites."
"I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment."
"Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love."
"Mine alone is the country of my soul."
"I have always painted pictures where human love floods my colors."
"The habit of ignoring Nature is deeply implanted in our times. This attitude reminds me of people who never look you in the eye; I find them disturbing and always have to look away."
"My name is Marc, my emotional life is sensitive and my purse is empty, but they say I have talent." **My personal favorite**
Wouldn't it be great if art did imitate life? Considering all of the polar opposites these days in politics, love, wealth, society... we could learn a thing or two from him.
