L’inspiration multicolore du peintre 1979 - 1980

Marc Chagall painted this image, L’inspiration multicolore du peintre, with who-knows-what, because the date isn't recorded. But I can tell you this image is made up of dreams and memories. I imagine Chagall reaching for that yellow and purple pastel, smearing it across the surface, conjuring up a village from his past. It's like he's building this world from the ground up, letting the colors bleed and blend. What must it be like to have such a unique vision of the world? A bouquet of flowers hovers in space, an angel flies past, carrying love and inspiration on its back. I see Chagall in this picture, too. A man sits at his easel, capturing the scene with bold strokes and vibrant colors, and the colors sing. There is an exchange of energy here. Artists like Chagall are in conversation with one another, responding and building upon the ideas of the past. He's not just painting what he sees, but what he feels, what he remembers, and what he imagines.
