"The Fiddler" by Marc Chagall (1912)

Something unique that I have noticed in all of Chagall’s paintings is that he never makes anything one color. Whether it’s the snowy floor or the fiddler’s plain clothing Chagall always adds another color to show something. I like that because I think it can make a painting more interesting when a number of colors are being mixed up. That’s why I think this painting is special, because it shows that about his art style more then in any other picture.

Marc Chagall was born in Russia in 1887. At a young age in school he began to grow and interest for art. Living in a poor Jewish neighborhood, art was not very popular. Chagall later began to grow a desire to become an artist. His mother sent him to go to an art school for a month but Marc did not enjoy it. Chagall then began to connect his life to his art. Images from his childhood often made their way into his art. In 1910 Marc started painting in France. In 1914 he went to paint in Russia and then back in France again in 1923. No matter where he painted Chagall’s art was amazing and he was viewed as one of the greatest artists ever.
