"Chagall lived more in his imagination than in the real world."

if you are working with high school kids, especially an art class, a good way to encourage looking and discusson is to ask questions about composition. How does Chagall create background and foreground? Do you see any repeating images? How does he create mood?

"When I purchase a work of art, I have a responsibility to the artist."

"Art is to create a state of mind."

"It's like poetry, (art) it is up to the viewer to complete it. The artist doesn't always have an ulterior motive."
