Marc Chagall Quotations
The soil that
nourished the roots of my
art was Vitebsk. - -Marc
Chagall
Great art picks up where
nature ends. - -Marc Chagall
Quote
When I am finishing a
picture I hold some God-made
object up to it -- a rock, a
flower, the branch of a tree
or my hand -- as a kind of
final test. If the painting
stands up beside a thing man
cannot make, the painting is
authentic. If there's a
clash between the two, it is
bad art. -Marc Chagall Quote
If I create from the heart,
nearly everything works; if
from the head, almost
nothing.- -Marc Chagall
In our life there is a
single color, as on an
artist's palette, which
provides the meaning of life
and art. It is the color of
love - -Marc Chagall Quote

love.- -Marc Chagall Quote
The dignity of the artist
lies in his duty of keeping
awake the sense of wonder in
the world. In this long
vigil he often has to vary
his methods of stimulation;
but in this long vigil he is
also himself striving
against a continual tendency
to sleep.- -Marc Chagall
