Le Musée Marc Chagall

The other day our French class was held at the Marc Chagall museum in Nice. We viewed his collection, "Exile", and then discussed in French his style of painting, the colors in his works, and the sentiments his art evokes. His vivid colors and wavy strokes were captivating and it was difficult to choose a favorite work to present to the class. His works in the collection mostly depicted biblical scenes and it was very interesting to see how an artist interpreted and depicted the stories.


This was my favorite painting in the exhibit, Adam et Eve Chassés du Paradis, and I love the animals in the background and the bright flowers. I found the contrast between the dark and light colors and between sin and hopefulness to be very interesting! 



I loved the bright splotchy flowers he used!
