### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Immersive, engaging, powerful, chaotic... delightful
  

*by V***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 January 2023*

Live for a few hours inside one of the most human and least pretentious of painters.Chagall wrote this memoir when he was aged 35 and about to leave Russia/USSR for the second and last time. It was 1922 and he knew in his bones that he would never see his intensely Jewish home-town again, having experienced the chaotic violence and freedom of the early years after the Russian Revolution.His fizzing, short phrases are poetic, concerned with visual and sensual memory, and with the emotion that made him what he was, especially regarding his family in Vitebsk.His way with language is suggestive, disjointed, immediate. It is certainly not whimsical, as some have written, but stream-of-consciousness experiential. There are facts and short, insightful vignettes, but above all it is the tone of the man which comes through: his driven, utterly personal, instinctive, artistic nature.The words correspond with Chagall's paintings: powerfully suggestive, unrealistically figurative, filled with light and colour, movement, and sensual spirituality.For an excellent biography of Chagall, read Marc Chagall, by Jonathan Wilson (2007), giving a more historical and Jewish painter than the ethereal figure of conventional wisdom.

    A painter's painter
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2018*

I love Marc Chagall - in his writing and in his art.  His words paint pictures and his paintings tell stories - they tell us our dreams.  On the back cover there is a good quote but it also calls him a folk artist  - maybe in part - but not all folk artists are known for being great world artists.  I hope I meet him one day!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderfully engaging, like his art
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2020*

Who knew Marc Chagall was a wonderful writer as well as a superlative painter? Well, I didn't - until I read this fabulous book. If you like his pictorial style, his literary style will surely win you over.
