مارك شاگال (بالإنگليزية: Marc Chagall ; باليديشية: מאַרק שאַגאַל‎ بالروسية: Марк Захарович Шага́л Mark Zakharovich Shagal; بالبلاروسية: Мойша Захаравіч Шагалаў Mojša Zaharavič Šagałaŭ) (7 يوليو1887 - 28 مارس 1985) كان رساماً بلاروسي-فرنسي من أصل يهودي، مولود في بلاروسيا, حينما كانت جزءاً من الامبراطورية الروسية. ويـُعتبر ضمن الحركات المعاصرة بعد الإنطباعية.

فنه

تأثر شاگال بالحياة الشعبية في بلاروس, وصور الكثير من المواضيع التوراتية مما عكس تراثه اليهودي. وفي عقدي 1960 و1970, انخرط شاگال في سلسلة من المشاريع الكبيرة التي تضمنت ساحات عامة ومبان مدنية ودينية هامة.

ويصعب تصنيف أعمال شاگال. فعندما عمل في عالم الفن في باريس قبل الحرب العالمية الأولى, تأثر بتيارات الطليعة avant-garde, إلا حتى أعماله كانت باستمرار على هامش حركات الفن الشعبي والمناحي الناشئة, مثل التكعيبية والوحوشية Fauvism, بين الكثير. وقد ارتبط لصيقاً بمدرسة باريس ونادىتها, مثل أمديومودلياني.

غزارة الإشارات إلى طفولته في أعمال شاگال, انتقدها البعض لما رأوه من عدم التصوير بشكل كافي لمعاناة اليهود التي زامنت ذلك الوقت. فهويصور سعادة وتفاؤل لأولئك الذين ينظرون في أعماله فقط إلى استخدام الألوان شديدة الحيوية. Chagall often posed himself, sometimes together with his wife, as an observer of a colored world like that seen through a stained-glass window. Some see The White Crucifixion, which is rich with intriguing detail, as a denunciation of the Stalin regime, the Nazi Holocaust, and the oppression of Jews in general.

معارضه

Chagall's work is housed in a variety of locations, including the Palais Garnier (the old opera house), the Chase Tower Plaza of downtown Chicago, the Metropolitan Opera, the cathedral of Metz, فرنسا, Notre-Dame de Reims, the Fraumünster abbey in Zürich, Switzerland, the Church of St. Stephan in Mainz, ألمانيا and the delightful Biblical Message museum in Nice, France, that Chagall helped to design.

The only church in England with a complete set of Chagall window-glass is located in the tiny village of Tudeley, in Kent, إنگلترة. Chagall painted 12 colorful stained-glass windows in Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in Jerusalem, with each frame depicting a different tribe. In the United States, the Union Church of Pocantico Hills contains a set of Chagall windows commemorating the prophets, which was commissioned by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. [1].

وفي مركز لنكولن في مدينة نيويورك, Chagall's huge mosaic murals are installed in the lobby of the new Metropolitan Opera House, which opened in 1966. Also in New York, the United Nations Headquarters has a stained glass wall of his work. In 1967 the UN commemorated this artwork with a postage stamp and souvenir sheet.

وفي 1973, the Musée National Message Biblique Marc Chagall (Chagall Museum) opened in نيس, France. The museum in Vitebsk which bears his name was founded in 1997, in the building where his family lived on 29 Pokrovskaia street, although, prior to his death, years before the fall of the Soviet Bloc, Chagall was persona non grata in his homeland. The museum only has copies of his work.

وفي 2007, an exhibition of his work entitled, “Chagall of Miracles” at Il Complesso del Vittoriano was displayed and included works such as the Red Jew (1915), Above the City (1914-1918), Composition with Circles and Goat (1920), and The Fall of the Angel (1923-1947), which impacte viewers the most. Chagall was Jewish but was heavily influenced by Christian iconography, as well as a dreamer whose works touched on the harsh realities of war and persecution, and also an avant-garde artist that did not align himself with one particular movement. The works in this exhibition highlighted all these points of Chagall's personality.

تأثيره

Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez released in 1978 one of his most widely known songs, Óleo de mujer con sombrero (Oil of woman with hat) in tribute to Chagall's work.

Jon Anderson, singer from the popular group Yes, met Chagall in the town of Opio, France as a young musician. Jon credits him as a seminal inspiration. He has recorded a piece of music in his honor, as well as the charitable Opio Foundation which he established in memory of his connection with the artist. In 1997, Pasqualina Azzarello painted A Celebration of Imagination: a Tribute to Marc Chagall, a 15'x30' public mural in Central Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

In 2005, musician Tori Amos recorded and released the composition "Garlands," with lyrics inspired by a series of Chagall lithographs.

In 2006, the musical group The Weepies released their album Say I Am You. One of the tracks is titled "Painting by Chagall"; part of the chorus is: "...we float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall, all around is sky and blue town, holding these flowers for a wedding gown, we live so high above the ground..." "Do Jump!", a physical theatre based in Portland, Oregon, created an acrobatic/trapeze theatre performance in tribute to Chagall.
