For Chagall, painting is as vital as eating. The Russian artist who lived through two world wars was strongly affected by these events. The magnificent exhibition that is dedicated to his work at the Musée de Luxembourg regroups the paintings made after the declaration of the first war in Russia until his return to France in 1949.
The hundred canvases on display oscillate between the dark colors linked to the horrors of war, from the fear of Nazism, to the suffering during his forced exile in the USA and the bright luminous hues expressing hope, dream and a newly found serenity.
