Hi Ange, please do not take offense, but I am not entirely sure I like this painting. What is the background behind it?
Marc Chagall was raised Hasidic. It portrays an orthodox Jew during prayer. It isn't meant to be disrespectful.
I am sure it is not meant to be disrespectful, but it is disturbing. The face is distorted. It is beauty deformed. Do you know why he distorted the face? I appreciate you having an art forum on your blog. I might have to create another blog for works of art that inspire me to engage people in dialogue. I had a friend who was a monk who took his family to the Chagall exhibit when it was in town. I did not get to go, due to having a young daughter.
That was just his style of painting.
