Marc Chagall at the Vittoriano Rome
from 9 march until 1 july 2007.
Chagall is one of the most independent painters of the ‘900, born in the ex-USSR (now Bielarussia) in 1887, and lived to be 98 years old.
A good 180 of his works are on display : paintings, drawings, sculptures, all borrowed from private collections and great museums of all over the world and you will travel through his artistic life over the years. Marc Chagall was a jewish artist whose real name was Moishe Shegal and throughout the journey of the gallery you will gradually discover his inner life through political influence as well as his historic and religious background. However none of these external factors took over his personality and he always remained a free spirit in his art.
His work refers a lot to his childhood and is also inspired from Belarussian folk life and portrayed scenes of biblical scenes based on his Jewish upbringing and his style was defined Avant-gardiste, Cubiste and Fauviste. He spent time in south of France and in the United States before eventually returning to France. He died in Saint-Paul de Vence where he is buried.
His works include : Young Woman on a Sofa, I and the Village, Birthday, Bella with White collar.
The Complesso del Vittoriano is right in Rome centre by Piazza Venezia and the Coloseum and only minutes away from My Hotel Rome by bus .
