Great pictures, text a bit dry.

[Bea Marek · Rating 5 out of 5]

Few stunning lines, on top of visual feast of Chagall's genius.

'The first critics, writing about Chagall in the 1920s, correctly noted that Paris gave his painting its own particular nuance, a fragile nervousness and certainty of line, which now began to firmly and precisely resonate the colour, and in many ways to govern it. And the areas of colour, taking on a clarity of outline and, consequently, another level of expression, free themselves from approximation, pouring out with new, disturbing power.

Es un libro ilustrado que hace un recorrido breve por de la vida y obra del autor. Es más bien de esos que quieres tener porque te gusta contemplar la obra, no tanto por la información que comparte, la cual es muy poca.
