Marc Chagall was an artist that
worked in many periods such as, Surrealism, cubism, expressionism, fauvism, and
modern art. He is inspiration to me because of the abstract, cubist,
expressionist qualities to his pieces, movement, action, and most importantly
coexistence that is displayed in this piece in particular. Chagall’s, I and the Village, was done in 1911 and displays a place where
peasants and their cattle coexist and respect each other represented by the
animal and person looking into each other eyes.
The abstract, cubist style influences me to think about how I can
display the idea of coexistence. This
painting has a quality and style to it that reminds me the positive side of
coexistence instead of the negative, which I am dwelling on both in the
project.
Chagall liked lines and angles when
growing up which led to his cubist style. I also focus on lines and angles, but
with wire. I like that fact that Chagall
made suggestions to the orbiting sun, moon, and earth in this painting with the
circular forms. That is another element
that makes this piece interesting. I shape my wire in all types of ways to
evoke a emotion and display a theme, which Marc Chagall does well and inspires
me to do.
