Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century". According to the art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, Chagall was regarded as the preeminent Jewish artist. When Matisse dies," Pablo Picasso commented in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is". Though Chagall lived through much conflict, his work has certain qualities of hopefulness and dreaminess that are universally relatable. His work is appreciated by “children” and adults of all ages, and stands the test of time as highly collectible and very valuable fine art. Congratulations to the winning bidder on this gorgeous artwork in the manner of Marc Chagall.
