Lecture: "Marc Chagall: An Artist in Exile — Between Countries, Worlds, and People"

Marc Chagall is one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th century, whose paintings resemble a window into another, dreamlike reality.

During this lecture, we'll explore how he managed to preserve his unique inner world while becoming one of the most celebrated artists of the last century.

We'll discuss the influence of Vitebsk and Jewish tradition, Paris and emigration, the women who shaped his life, his journey from painting to stained glass, mosaics, and theater, his return to France after the war, and the central question: why do Chagall's figures fly, and what does that flight symbolize?
