Marc Chagall

My art is a celebration of life.

I am a storyteller.

The artist is a magician.

I paint with my soul.

My art is a journey.

I am a witness to my time.

The artist is a dreamer.

I believe in the power of love.

My art is a gift.

I am a child of the universe.

The role of art is to make a world which would otherwise remain silent.

Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things that I love.

If I created all the rules then I would have only made something interesting for one person, myself. I have no right to do that.

When I see the plain, unadorned colors of the American flag I feel that my work has no business being next to it.

Art is the effort to create, beside the real world, a more human world.

I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene.

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

The older I grow, the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.

Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything.

I am not interested in details. I am interested in the soul.
