Marc Chagall

If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.

Great art picks up where nature ends.

Art must be an experience, not a theory.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.

All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.

I work in whatever medium likes me at the moment.

The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

My art is a private diary.

I don't understand anything. I am just a painter.

For me, painting is an organism of colors and lines, which expresses my love for the world and for life.

If a painter is a Jew, and paints as a Jew, what is wrong with that?

I am a Jew, I am a Russian, I am a painter, I am a husband, I am a father, I am a human being.

My paintings are my dreams, my fantasies, my memories.

I paint with my heart and soul, not with my brain.

The Bible is the greatest source of art.

I have always been interested in the human soul.

My art is a cry of love and hope.

The artist is the only one who can see the invisible.

I am not interested in the 'isms' of art. I am interested in art.

The world is a stage, and we are all actors.
