Marc Chagall (1887-1985) was born as a Russian Jewish. The period he lived watched the radical developpement as two World Wars and Russian Revolution. Amid various difficulties, he bequeathed fantastic art which occupies an important position in the 20th century art history, and continues to fascinate people by its style full of myth and mysticism. On the other side, colorful and dream-like scenes of his works are deeply rooted in the Jewish history, and at the same time depict poetically ordinary life of ordinary people including the painter himself, such as Birth, Love, Marriage and Death. Once Chagall told "In spite of difficulties filling the world, I never resigned Love which brought me up and Hope toward human love. As same as on painter's palette, there is a color which gives a significance to life and art. It is a color of Love". We can say for the painter Love is faith throughout his life and central theme of his works. This exhibition presents Chagall's works by various techniques such as oil, drawing and print.
